40 million pig farmers don't understand strengthening the body's resistance to dispel pathogenic factors, so what can be done when pig farm problems occur frequently?
40 million pig farmers suffer frequent pig farm problems because they don't understand "strengthening the body's resistance to dispel pathogenic factors" - do you understand it?
The flooding of viral and bacterial diseases is the main reason for the low productivity of domestic pig farms, yet pig farms have no good strategies for disease prevention and treatment.
According to data surveys: some Western vaccine research and development centers have already relocated to China, and some are in the process of relocating. They have made great contributions to raising the domestic vaccine level, and there are also many excellent domestic veterinary vaccine manufacturers.
While vaccine manufacturers are growing vigorously, domestic veterinary drug manufacturers have also made great contributions to the breeding industry, with antibiotics updated in sync with those for human use, and large quantities of veterinary drugs are also exported abroad every year.
Why can't China, with its advanced vaccines and antibacterial drugs in sync with those for human use, control the spread of diseases in pig farms?
Why do domestic pig houses need strengthening the body's resistance and dispelling pathogenic factors?
Domesticpig farmers, including many veterinarians, like to look at domesticpig diseases from the perspective of Western medicine. One is one, two is two; they believe that a pig getting sick is a matter between the disease and the pig, and do not consider the impact of the many unsuitable environmental factors in the pig farm on the pigs.
Among environmental factors, mycotoxins are the first to bear the brunt of harm to pig herds. Since 2003, the content of mycotoxins in domestic feed has seriously exceeded standards.
This has had a great impact on the pig farming industry, causing frequent disease outbreaks and low productivity in the industry.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, mycotoxins belong to "yin toxins." Pig herds that consume moldy feed for a long time will show a constitution of yang deficiency and internal cold.
Traditional Chinese medicine observes things: "Whatever is inside must manifest outside."Treatingdisease must first determine the constitution of the sick pig.
But Western medicine, as we said above, looks at things in isolation: an infectious disease is just an infectious disease, and it never looks at the constitution of the sick pig.
It happens that domesticpig farmers, including veterinarians, all like to considerpig diseases from the perspective of Western medicine, resulting in very few pig farming friends in the industry paying attention to the "yang deficiency and internal cold syndrome" of pig herds from 2003 to now!
"Yang deficiency and internal cold syndrome" currently presents eight major symptoms in pig farms:
1. At the initial onset of disease in a pig herd, the pigs show aversion to cold and huddle together; although they have a fever, they do not thirst for water.
2. Antibiotictreatmenthas very poor effect. Because antibiotics are also "yin toxins," forpig diseasesthey are like adding frost on top of snow.
3. Deaths from myocarditis in foot-and-mouth disease and encephalitis in pseudorabies have become common; the constitution has weakened, rather than the virus having become stronger!
4. The number of sows that fail to conceive after long-term mating has increased sharply, labor duration is too long, and there are eye discharge and tear stains at the corners of the eyes.
5. A deficiency-cold constitution can lead to insufficient qi and blood; when pigs are not diseased, there are bleeding spots on the body surface, mostly in sows!
6.Breeding pigswith qi deficiency easily show severe panting when chased, and are relatively prone to stress.
7. After vaccination, pigs have a low constitution and cannot produce a response or generate antibodies, which is equivalent to not having been vaccinated at all.
8. Pigs are prone to secondary infections of various viral and bacterial diseases, andtreatmentis difficult.
To solve the current low productivity of pig farms, the first thing is to control the harm of viruses and bacteria to the pig herd. Vaccines and antibiotics only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.
"Where pathogenic factors gather, the qi must be deficient" -- Huangdi Neijing
To control disease, the constitution problem of "yang deficiency and internal cold" in the pig herd must first be solved!
Intreatingthe "yang deficiency and internal cold syndrome" of pigs, the singletreatmentperspective of Western medicine is hard-pressed to bear this task!
Traditional Chinese medicine takes treating the root as its principle, using strengthening the body's resistance and dispelling pathogenic factorstechnologyto formulate prescriptions, using traditional Chinese medicine compound powder to improve the constitution of yang deficiency and internal cold in pigs!
Correct principles for strengthening the body's resistance and dispelling pathogenic factors in pig farms
Domestic feed ingredients - corn, wheat, bran, and soybean cake - are all infected by multiple mycotoxins, causing disease prevention andtreatmentin pig farms to fail to achieve the best results.
What is currently popular in the pig farming industry is using montmorillonite powder as the main ingredient, utilizing the adsorption effect of montmorillonite to adsorb mycotoxins in feed, but montmorillonite can only adsorb one third of the mycotoxins in feed.
The rest will still be absorbed by the pig's body, forming a "background disease" (compound mycotoxin poisoning).
Antibiotics also belong to the metabolic products of mycotoxins. For example, penicillin, the world's first antibacterial drug, was extracted from Penicillium.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, mycotoxins belong to yin toxins, and antibacterial drugs are also extracted from molds, so they also belong to yin toxins.
If a pig is in a constitution of yang deficiency and internal cold syndrome, after being infected with disease, using antibacterial drugs totreatit is nothing but adding fuel to the fire, and thus cannot achieve thetreatmenteffect.
Mycotoxins mainly attack internal organs (mainly the kidneys and liver), the body's immune system, and nonspecific immune function to form "yang deficiency and internal cold syndrome."
When a pig's constitution is in yang deficiency and internal cold syndrome, once infected with bacteria or viruses, using Western antibacterial or antiviral drugs cannot achieve the desired effect!
Because the root disease of the pig's own internal organ damage has not beentreated。
To treat pigs with yang deficiency and internal cold syndrome, one must follow the principle of treating both the symptoms and root cause, with treating the root more important than treating the symptoms. Use methods mainly of strengthening yang and tonifying the kidneys, supplementing the middle and boosting qi, and strengthening the spleen and draining dampness, along with clearing heat and detoxifying and other harmonizing methods, to achieve the goal of strengthening the body's resistance and dispelling pathogenic factors. To solve "yang deficiency and internal cold syndrome," should one choose single-ingredient veterinary drugs or compound veterinary drugs? How to formulate the compound?
Since ancient times, traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese veterinary medicine have considered comprehensiveness rather than singularity when diagnosing and treating disease. But now some veterinary drug manufacturers have forgotten the comprehensiveness of traditional Chinese veterinary medicine
treatment Take the commonly used astragalus polysaccharide and whole astragalus in pig farms today: the effect of astragalus polysaccharide in improving immune function is only one of the many biological effect components of whole astragalus, not the entirety of whole astragalus's immune function improvement.。
The macromolecular proteins, amino acids, alkaloids, and glycosides in astragalus all have the effect of promoting antibody production and immune response;
Whole astragalus can protect against damage to myocardial subcellular structures during viral infection, can resist damage caused by hypoxia, can improve blood circulation in the glomerular capillary network, can increase liver glycogen, and protect liver cell subcellular structures.
So although these effects do not directly improve immune function, they are improving the function of the pig's internal organs and laying the material foundation for improving immunity.
But the extracted component - astragalus polysaccharide - does not have these functions. Without improvement in internal organ function, improving immune function is an empty phrase.
It can thus be seen that the effect of using astragalus polysaccharide alone is inferior to whole astragalus, and even more inferior to compound traditional Chinese medicine preparations.
Compound traditional Chinese medicine must aim to improve immune function and restore internal organ function. One can choose Cornus officinalis to warm the kidneys and strengthen yang, ginseng (codonopsis) to supplement qi and strengthen yang, Atractylodes macrocephala to supplement the spleen and strengthen yang, to strengthen the body's resistance and dispel the toxin of yin pathogens; hawthorn and dried tangerine peel to nourish the stomach qi, the foundation of acquired constitution. In this way the goal of strengthening the body's resistance and dispelling pathogenic factors is achieved.
Obviously, this is an effect difficult for a single herb or a single herbal extract to achieve.
Summary
This article mainly discusses the pig farming industry, and the "yang deficiency and internal cold syndrome" caused by excessive mycotoxin content in feed. It explains that mycotoxins among environmental factors have a serious impact on the pig farming industry. For example, slow pig growth, low resistance, sows failing to conceive after long-term mating, increased endometritis, and other problems. Treatment needs to be carried out through methods mainly of strengthening yang and tonifying the kidneys, supplementing the middle and boosting qi, and strengthening the spleen and draining dampness, along with clearing heat and detoxifying and other harmonizing methods.
