If pigs have persistent diarrhea that won't heal after long treatment, try these methods to reduce losses
Avoid stress. To reduce environmental stress after weaning, it is best to keep the piglets in the original pen and feed the original lactation-period feed, so as not to affect appetite and cause disease. At weaning, the sow can be taken out of the pen while the piglets stay in the original shed; the piglets are not moved from the pen or mixed into other pens, and the sow and piglets are allowed to reunite at night.
Weaning piglets at the right time is an effective measure to improve sow reproductive performance. For the timing of weaning, from a physiological analysis, weaning is generally done 3~4 weeks after the sow gives birth. In principle, piglets should weigh no less than 4 kg at weaning; at this time the piglets' growth and development are approaching normal, they already have a certain ability to adapt to the environment and resist disease, and the impact of weaning is relatively small.
Prevention and treatmentMethod: Baobaole-colistin sulfate mixed into feed, for free feeding.
Oral: each suckling piglet 0.2 ml of Shengmingyuan per day
Indications: This product is suitable for vomiting, diarrhea, watery diarrhea, undigested feed in manure and other symptoms in piglets caused by various reasons such as infectious gastroenteritis, epidemic diarrhea, rotavirus, Escherichia coli (yellow and white scour), Clostridium welchii, weaning stress, feed-change stress, cold and damp conditions.

Wean at the right time. The sow's lactation period is about 2 months, and one sow generally produces 2 litters per year. A long lactation period increases the empty period and lowers utilization. The feed consumed by a sow each year is basically fixed, so the fewer piglets a sow produces, the higher the cost. The choice of weaning time is best based on the physical condition of the piglets and the sow, and can also be based on the actual production situation, using one-time whole-litter weaning, batch weaning or gradual weaning. If the individual differences among piglets in the same litter are small and the weight difference is not great, whole-litter weaning can be used. If the piglets in the same litter are uneven in size, batch weaning can be considered. To reduce stress after weaning, the gradual weaning method is generally chosen.
