Why do pigs have dry, hard stools, and what are the treatment methods?
Dry, hard stools are caused by pigs eating large amounts of coarse feed that is difficult to digest. Diseases such as swine erysipelas, swine fever, chronic gastroenteritis,parasitic diseasesand other secondary conditions can also cause dry, hard stools.
After pigs develop dry, hard stools, they will show reduced appetite or stop eating, drink little water, breathe slightly faster, be restless when lying down or getting up, have congested conjunctiva, and very weak bowel sounds. If the pig has thin skin, a cylindrical segment of intestine can generally be felt in the abdominal cavity.
In the early stage of dry, hard stools in pigs, a small amount of feces is passed, with a grayish-white thin liquid on it. In severe cases, defecation becomes impossible, and the pig will show a defecation posture with the anus protruding.
To prevent dry, hard stools in pigs, it is necessary to mix feed reasonably, feed more succulent feed, provide more drinking water, appropriately increase exercise, disinfect regularly, pay attention to environmental hygiene, and prevent the occurrence ofparasitic diseasesand infectious diseases.
