Understanding Pig Abortion

Pig abortion is a common problem in pig breeding, which brings great economic losses to pig farmers. Aborted pigs are not only unable to produce piglets, but also easily cause the spread of abortion viruses, affecting the health of the entire pig farm.

Common causes of pig abortion

There are many reasons for pig abortion, including bacterial infection, viral infection, malnutrition, etc. Among them, Brucella, Paratuberculosis, reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and so on are common pathogens.

Effective methods to prevent pig abortion

The key to preventing pig abortion is to strengthen breeding management and vaccination:

• Maintain good environmental hygiene and clean the pig pens and feed troughs regularly;
• Avoid overcrowding in the pens and ensure that the pigs have enough space to move around;
• Reasonable feeding, providing nutritionally balanced feed, and supplementing with appropriate amounts of vitamins and minerals;
• Conduct regular physical examinations to detect diseases in a timely manner, and isolate and treat sick pigs in a timely manner;
• Choose appropriate vaccination plan according to the epidemic situation of pig herd to improve the immunity of pigs.

Treatment of aborted pigs

Once pig abortion occurs, timely measures need to be taken, including:

• Keep the temperature of the aborted pigs appropriate to avoid excessive cooling or overheating;
• Observe the aborted product. If any abnormality is found, send it to the laboratory for pathogen testing as soon as possible.
• According to the results of pathogen detection, take appropriate treatment plans, such as using antibiotics, antiviral drugs, etc.;
• In cases where the pathogen is unclear, serological testing can be performed to look for possible pathogens;
• Clean the environment promptly, kill pathogens, and prevent the spread of the disease.

Pig farmers should receive regular training on breeding techniques, improve their own breeding management level, and strengthen their understanding of the prevention and treatment of pig abortion to reduce the losses caused by pig abortion to the pig farming industry.
