What should pigs do if the temperature is low? What should piglets do if they don't eat after weaning? What medicine should they use?
First, what if pigs don't eat when the temperature is low?
1, how to solve the problem of pigs not eating at low temperature?
(1) Raise the temperature of the pigsty, and baking lamps or electric heating plates can be installed in the feeding environment.
(2) camphor or caffeine sodium is generally used for injection, and it would be better if some glucose and vitamins can be infused.
2. The reason why pigs don't eat low temperature.
(1) Paper feed problem
Feed nutrition is insufficient, feeding moldy feed, especially moldy corn, causes mycotoxin poisoning, weakens the stomach and intestines of pigs, and reduces appetite.
(2) Environmental problems
Dark and damp pigsty, etc. , are easy to cause nutritional metabolism disorders in pigs, so that the body produces insufficient heat, so that pigs' body temperature drops and their appetite loses.
(3) Temperature change
The temperature changes suddenly, the weather is cold, the pig is weak, it is difficult to adapt, and it is easy to cause low temperature and no food.
(4) Improper medication
Improper use of antipyretic drugs or antibiotics causes hypothermia in pigs.
Second, what if piglets don't eat after weaning?
1, feeding mode
It's complicated to put the feed directly into the pig's mouth, but the effect is good. Don't feed every piglet in batches, or you can choose to feed the piglets when they sleep, but if you make the feed smaller, the piglets will unconsciously chew and eat.
2, hanging bottle method
Put the feeding tray on the bed where the pigs often walk, and hang a colored plastic bottle above the tray, which is high enough for the pigs to bow their heads. Piglets will be interested when they see it and will keep arching the bottle. The taste of the feed below will make them familiar quickly, and they will lick it unconsciously, so they will learn to eat slowly.
Third, what medicine is used for pig hypothermia?
1, transfusion, adding proper amount of vitamin C, vitamin B 1 and ampicillin into normal saline, then heating the normal saline to a certain temperature (close to the body temperature of pigs), and then transfusion.
2, feeding drugs, you can choose coenzyme a+ adenosine triphosphate and vitamin B. If the situation is serious, it is recommended to seek the help of a veterinarian.
