CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What should we do if pigs develop a fever after receiving vaccinations to prevent disease?

In the breeding industry, it is common for pigs to have a fever, especially after vaccination. This is because the main function of the vaccination is to stimulate the pig's immune response and enhance its disease resistance, but sometimes it can cause a slight fever. If a pig has a fever after vaccination, it needs to be properly handled to ensure the pig's health and production efficiency.

1. Observe symptoms

When pigs develop a fever after receiving a vaccination, farmers first need to observe the pigs' symptoms. Generally speaking, pigs will have symptoms such as increased body temperature, decreased appetite, and lack of energy. If the pigs only have a mild fever and no other obvious abnormalities, you can choose to observe them for a few days, because the pigs' immune systems are building immunity to the vaccine, and this process takes some time.

2. Take cooling measures

If the pig has obvious fever symptoms and the body temperature exceeds the normal level (generally above 39°C), cooling measures should be taken in time. You can use cold water to wipe the pig's ears and abdomen, or provide it with a cool environment to ensure that the pig is in a comfortable temperature range. In addition, you can increase the amount of water you drink to replenish the pig's water.

3. Provide appropriate feed

During the period of pig fever, special attention should be paid to the selection of feed. The feed formula of pigs can be adjusted appropriately to improve the nutritional value of the feed and increase the resistance of pigs. In addition, some Chinese medicine or herbal medicine can be added to the pigs to help relieve fever symptoms and promote the recovery of the pigs.

4. Close observation

When dealing with pig fever, farmers need to closely monitor the pigs. If the pig's temperature continues to rise, symptoms worsen, or other abnormal conditions occur, a veterinarian should be consulted for diagnosis and treatment. Since there are many reasons for pig fever, it may not only be caused by vaccination, so professionals are needed to judge and deal with it.

5. Prevention is the key

Prevention is the key to the problem of pig fever. Farmers should choose the appropriate defense shot and vaccinate according to the correct immunization procedure. After vaccination, it is necessary to ensure the hygiene of the pig breeding environment, reasonably match the feed, strengthen the management of the pigs, and improve the immunity of the pigs. Only by focusing on prevention can the risk of pig fever be reduced and the healthy growth of pigs be ensured.
