Constipation in sows is highly harmful, but traditional home remedies work well to relieve it
Constipation in sows is highly harmful; traditional home remedies for relieving constipation may be crude, but they work well
But the trouble is that sows in gestation simply cannot be given medication freely, otherwise it may cause adverse effects on the fetuses. So setting aside medication plans, let us explain how to carry out conditioning:
Sow constipation
Method one:
Baking soda powder can be added to the daily ration of a constipated sow, generally at 0.4%, and it only needs to be used continuously for about two weeks for the sow's constipation problem to improve noticeably.
The principle is that baking soda can compensate for the lysine in the sow's body, enhance the sow's digestive capacity, and also has a very good effect on improving appetite. It is worth mentioning that in hot summer weather, baking soda can be added to the feed for pigs over the long term; besides promoting digestion, it also plays a role that cannot be ignored in preventing heat stress in the herd.
Method two:
First, it should be explained that we generally do not recommend this second method, because the side effects are relatively stronger. The specific plan is to add about 0.5% magnesium sulfate to the sow's daily ration. This method is very strong fortreatingconstipation and takes effect very quickly. Used together with green fodder, it can quickly solve the sow's constipation problem. But the problem is that magnesium sulfate may cause miscarriage in sows during gestation, so unless the sow's constipation problem is truly too severe and cannot be solved by any means, do not use magnesium sulfate lightly.
Method three:
A safe and pollution-free method is also to choose to add modified Xiaohuang San to the sow's daily ration. This costs a bit more and takes effect more slowly, but the advantage is that its conditioning effect is very good. This is because modified Xiaohuang San can promote the sow's intestinal peristalsis and also regulate the balance of the sow's intestinal microecology. In this way, it can achieve the effect of treating both the symptoms and the root cause.
Method four:
If nothing is at hand, the sow's constipation problem can also be addressed by improving the composition of the sow's daily ration. The specific approach is to increase the content of bran in the sow's daily ration (preferably barley bran); for sows in gestation, the proportion of barley bran in the daily ration can reach one fifth. Although this plan does not take effect immediately, long-term use can improve the sow's excretion problem.
Of course, notreatmentplan is as good as doing prevention work well, even a plan without medication. In ordinary pig farming, take care not to abuse antibiotics (antibiotics can destroy the balance of the sow's intestinal microorganisms), and at the same time adopt a feeding plan with a scientific nutritional ratio and promptlytreatvarious febrile epidemic diseases. Then the sow will not be likely to develop constipation.
