What are the reasons for poor treatment results after illness in nursery pigs?

The reasons for poor treatment results after illness in nursery pigs are beyond what you might expect!
It is unrealistic for pigs not to get sick during the rearing process. For example, during the nursery stage, once a pig gets sick, if it is discovered early and treated promptlytreatment, the harm can still be minimized. But if it is discovered late and dragged into the later stages, in order to treat the disease not only is a lot of manpower and material resources wasted,treatmentresults are still not ideal. Below we will explain why after nurserypig disease,treatmentresults are poor. Poortreatmentresults in nursery pigs are caused by multiple aspects:

I. Missing the besttreatmenttiming

Some farmers do not understandpig disease, while somepig diseasesshow symptoms before onset, leading to missing the besttreatmenttiming, makingtreatmentless effective and more troublesome;

You can ask a local veterinarian to visit the pig farm regularly to check for problems; you can also sendpig diseaseproblems to those who raise pigs well, and we will help you solve them

Giving injections to pigs with diarrhea and adding medication to the feed of pigs with high fever disease are both ineffective. For diarrhea, injection methods are not advisable because the affected area is the intestines and stomach. Using feed medication totreathigh fever disease will be ineffective because pigs do not eat or eat little;

For different diseases, the most appropriatetreatmentmethod must be adopted to avoid delayingtreatment。

  II. Unreasonable medication use

Farmers treat antibiotics as a miracle drug that cures all diseases, but in fact antibiotics can onlytreatbacterial infections and have no effect on viruses. Each antibiotic only targets a portion of bacteria, hence the distinction between Gram-positive and Gram-negative; even broad-spectrum antibiotics have targeted effects on bacteria, so the pathogen should be identified before considering medication.

The country now advocates antibiotic-free farming, so in the rearing process prevention should take priority over treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine additives can be mixed into feed to boost the pig herd's resistance, and combined with vaccines, major illnesses can be reduced.

III.Treatmentcourse is not long enough

　　Treatmentalso needs to be carried out according to the treatment course; if medication is used only once, the surface effect may seem good, but it does not necessarily kill all pathogens. If medication is stopped at this point, the bacteria that were not killed may revive, and when the disease recurs the harm is even greater. For example, for deworming, the drugs we use often can only kill adult worms and have no effect on eggs; but it takes time for eggs to become adult worms; when medication was used last time the worms were at the egg stage, but by the time the eggs develop into adult worms, the drug is no longer effective, so thistreatmentresult is not thorough

The common mentality among farmers now is that after illness, as long astreatmentworks it is fine. In fact, thinking this way is wrong, because once illness occurs it is not easy to want it to get better, sotreatmentmust be combined with rearing. The ancients said three parts treatment and seven parts rearing. By improving environmental conditions, letting pigs eat feed, and boosting resistance, illness will naturally be much reduced, andtreatmentwill be relatively easier.
