How to perform uterine curettage on a sow with a dead fetus

Sows are important economic animals in farms, but during the production process, sometimes there will be stillbirths in the sow's abdomen. Stillbirths in the sow's abdomen will bring adverse consequences and require timely uterine curettage.

Reasons for curettage: Stillbirth in the sow's abdomen may be caused by abnormal fetal development, embryonic death, intrauterine disease, etc. Curettage is required to prevent the spread of infection and protect the life and health of the sow.

Steps of uterine curettage surgery:

  • 1. Anesthesia: First, the sow must be anesthetized to ensure the smooth progress of the operation.
  • 2. Disinfection: Strictly disinfect the surgical site to avoid infection.
  • 3. Laparotomy: A veterinarian performs surgery under appropriate conditions to open the sow's abdomen.
  • 4. Clean the uterus: clean the dead fetus, inflammatory substances, etc. in the uterus to ensure that the sow's uterus is restored to cleanliness.
  • 5. Postoperative care: The sows must be well cared for after surgery to help them recover.

Precautions for uterine curettage: Pay attention to hygiene during the uterine curettage to avoid infection; the operation should be gentle to avoid causing further harm to the sow; do a good job of feeding management and strengthen nursing after the operation.

In short, uterine curettage is an effective way to deal with stillbirth in the sow's abdomen. Timely surgery can avoid more serious consequences and protect the life and health of the sow.
