Generally speaking, pigs are very prone to coughing in winter and spring. Why is that? What is the best way to handle it? Let me explain below!
1. Symptoms of a pig catching a cold
We all know that whether it is a common cold or influenza, it belongs to respiratory system diseases.
The first thing affected is the pig's respiratory tract, because the respiratory tract is the pig's first immune defense line. So after a pig is infected with a cold, it will show coughing, wheezing, fever, poor appetite and listlessness, leading to slow growth. If it is infected with influenza, then there is a possibility of large-scale infection!
2. Reasons why pigs cough in winter
In winter, pig coughing mostly occurs in finishing pigs weighing 50 to 150 jin, and the coughing is all caused by the weather turning cold, the large temperature difference between day and night, and in addition the poor air circulation in the pig house, which leads to pigs being infected with colds and influenza. Although they are all colds, their essence is completely different. I hope everyone will not confuse them.
3. What should be done about pigs coughing in winter?
If coughing caused by pigs catching colds is found in the pig farm, we can administer medication appropriatelytreatment, andtreatmentFor coughing and respiratory diseases in pigs caused by colds, we can specifically use sometreatmentmedications, such as appropriately addingShanghuqing plus Anjuntaito fight the virustreatment。
We all know that pig coughing is mostly a respiratory disease caused by colds, and influenza is a viral disease, so it is recommended that everyone use Chinese patent medicines to treat swine influenza. Because the antiviral effect of Chinese patent medicines is more effective than sulfonamide drugs!
4. Measures to keep pig houses warm in winter
At present, many pig farms still retain traditional farmingtechniques, that is, pigs eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep all completed within one pig pen. In fact, this is very bad. In winter it is cold and damp, and the pigs do not have a dry and warm growing environment, so of course there will not be a healthy space for fattening. Therefore, we should keep the pig house as clean, dry and warm as possible. Only in this way will the pigs fatten healthily and quickly!
