Weaning is an important stage in the growth of piglets. However, sometimes we encounter piglets with fever after weaning. In this case, the correct treatment method is very important to ensure that the piglets can pass this stage smoothly.

Cause Analysis

There are many reasons why piglets develop fever after weaning. The most common cause is infection with viruses or bacteria. Piglets have an underdeveloped immune system and are susceptible to infection, which can cause fever. In addition, unsanitary indoor environments, rough feeding management, malnutrition and other problems may also cause piglets to have fever symptoms.

Treatment

When piglets have a fever after weaning, we can take the following measures:

1. Observe symptoms: Observe the symptoms of piglets in time, including fever, loss of appetite, listlessness, etc. Pay attention to record the changes in symptoms.
2. Isolation: Isolate piglets with fever individually to prevent the spread of viruses or bacteria.
3. Cooling: Provide a suitable temperature environment for piglets and try to avoid excessively high indoor temperatures. You can wipe the piglets' bodies with a wet towel to lower their body temperature.
4. Provide enough water: Always keep enough clean water in the water fountain to prevent dehydration and replenish body water.
5. Adjust feeding management: Conduct a comprehensive inspection of piglet feeding management to ensure that the piglets' feed is nutritionally balanced and the feeding environment is clean and hygienic.
6. Medical treatment: If the fever persists or worsens, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian for professional diagnosis and treatment.

Precautions

In addition to timely treatment of piglet fever after weaning, prevention is also very important. We can reduce the risk of piglet fever through the following measures:

• Feed management: Formulate feed reasonably to ensure that piglets get adequate nutrition.
• Environmental hygiene: Keep the breeding environment clean and disinfect it regularly.
• Immunization program: Vaccinate piglets on time to improve their immunity.
• Regular observation: Regularly observe the health of the piglets to detect and deal with any abnormalities in a timely manner.
