Causes of swollen eyes in sows

Swollen eyes in sows are common in pig herds and this condition can be due to a number of reasons. Here are a few of the main reasons that may cause swollen eyes in sows:

  • Eye Infections: Bacterial, viral or parasitic infections may cause swelling in the sow's eyes.
  • Eye injury: Sows may be hit or scratched by external objects during the breeding process, causing swollen eyes.
  • Allergic reaction: The sow may have an allergic reaction to a certain feed or something in the environment, causing the eye to swell.
  • Disease: Some diseases, such as swine flu, tuberculosis, etc., may also cause swollen eyes in sows.

How to deal with swollen eyes in sows

Here are some things to do when you notice a swollen eye in your sow:

  1. Keep the eyes clean: Use warm water and a clean cotton ball to gently wipe the sow's eyes to remove eye mucus or secretions.
  2. Use eye drops: If your pig has an eye infection, you can consult a veterinarian and use appropriate eye drops to treat it.
  3. Isolate sick pigs: If a sow with swollen eyes is found, it should be isolated as soon as possible to prevent infection to other pigs.
  4. Improve feed and environment: Check the feed and environment to ensure that there are no substances that may cause allergies to pigs.
  5. Contact a veterinarian: If the sow's eye swelling does not subside or is accompanied by other symptoms, a veterinarian should be contacted for further diagnosis and treatment.

Measures to prevent sow eye swelling

To prevent sow eye swelling, you can take the following steps:

  • Keep the breeding environment clean: clean the pig house regularly, change feed and water sources, and reduce the breeding of bacteria and viruses.
  • Regular vaccination: Vaccinate pigs regularly as recommended by your veterinarian to prevent disease infection.
  • Provide suitable feed: Choose high-quality feed and avoid those containing substances that may cause allergies.
  • Strengthen feeding management: regularly check the health of pigs, detect abnormal conditions in time and deal with them.
  • Provide good air circulation: Keep the pig house ventilated to avoid the spread of disease due to polluted air.

In short, sow eye swelling may be caused by a variety of reasons, and the treatment needs to be based on the specific situation. The key to preventing eye swelling is to maintain a good breeding environment and regularly vaccinate, while strengthening the health management of pigs.
