CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How much do you know about pig sickness?

Red spot, also known as swine red spot disease, is a common infectious disease in pigs. It is caused by Brucella and is mainly transmitted through air droplets and direct contact. If pigs are infected with red spot, they will show a series of symptoms, such as loss of appetite, fever, difficulty breathing, and red spots on the skin.

Measures and methods for preventing and controlling red shifts

In order to effectively prevent and control red shift, livestock farmers can take the following measures:

• Isolate infected pigs: If pigs are found to be suffering from red spot, they should be immediately isolated from other pigs and their living environment should be kept clean.
• Strengthen disinfection: Thoroughly disinfect the pig house and surrounding environment to kill vector animals that may carry pathogens.
• Check pigs regularly: Pigs showing symptoms such as abnormal appetite and increased body temperature should be checked promptly to determine whether they have red spot.
• Antimicrobial treatment: For pigs diagnosed with red scale, antimicrobial treatment can be given, but attention must be paid to the type and dosage of the drug used and follow the guidance of the veterinarian.

Evaluation of the control effect of red band

The control effect of red class is mainly evaluated through the following aspects:

• Epidemic observation: Observe the pig herd after the implementation of prevention and control measures to see if there are new cases of pig disease.
• Pathogen identification: Conduct etiological testing on suspected infection cases to determine whether they are red spot pathogens.
• Production performance monitoring: observe the growth of pigs, feed utilization and other production performance indicators, and evaluate the prevention and control effects.
• Immune monitoring: Evaluate the immune status of the pig herd by detecting the antibody level in the pig's serum.

Red bands are very harmful to the health of pigs and the development of the breeding industry. In order to control and prevent the spread of red bands, livestock farmers need to pay close attention to the health of pigs and take corresponding prevention and control measures. Only through scientific and reasonable prevention and control measures can the occurrence of red bands be effectively reduced and the health of pigs and the normal development of the breeding industry be guaranteed.
