Shivering in sows is a common symptom that many pig farmers may encounter during their breeding process. When this happens, farmers are often confused and worried about the health of the sows. So, what is the reason for sow shivering? Next, we will explore this issue in depth. 1. Environmental factorsFirst, we need to consider the environment the sow is in. If the temperature in the pig house is too low or too high, the sow will feel uncomfortable and shiver constantly. In addition, if the sow is placed in a noisy environment, such as mechanical noise or strong light stimulation, it will also cause symptoms of shivering. 2. MalnutritionThe quality of the sow’s feed has a direct impact on her health. If the sow’s feed lacks essential nutrients, such as B vitamins and minerals, it can cause problems with the nervous system, leading to shivering. 3. Disease or infectionShivering in sows can also be a symptom of a disease or infection. For example, diseases such as infectious swine diarrhea can cause the pigs to have fever and shivering symptoms. If the sow is infected with parasites such as scabies or fleas, it may also cause shivering. 4. Mental stress or anxietySows may experience some stress and anxiety during their reproductive years, such as before and after farrowing. This change in mood may cause sows to shiver. 5. Temperature regulation disorderThe sow's body needs to maintain a comfortable temperature range, and if the temperature regulation mechanism is out of balance, it will cause shivering. For example, in a cold environment, the sow's body will automatically shiver to generate heat to keep warm. In summary, sow shivering may be caused by environmental factors, malnutrition, disease infection, mental stress or temperature regulation disorders. It is very important for farmers to detect and deal with this situation in time. If sows shiver, it is recommended to check the environment of the pig house, feed quality, vaccination status of pigs, etc., and ask a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment if necessary. |
