Pigs coughing up blood: symptoms, causes and effects

Pig cough and bleeding, also known as porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), is a common pig disease. It is mainly caused by the European and American porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and is a viral respiratory disease.

When pigs are infected with PRRSV, their immune systems are suppressed, making them more susceptible to respiratory infections. Coughing is one of the most common symptoms, as the respiratory mucosa in pigs becomes thinner after being attacked by the virus, and is prone to rupture and bleeding.

In addition to coughing and bleeding, pigs coughing and bleeding may also be accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, runny nose, poor appetite and weight loss.

PRRS has caused serious harm to the pig industry. In addition to causing death and growth retardation in pigs, the virus can also cause a series of problems such as abortion, piglet deformity and immunosuppression, causing huge economic losses to pig farmers.

Treatment of pig coughing and bleeding

For the treatment of pig coughing and bleeding, the severity of the disease and the breeding environment of the pig herd should be considered comprehensively, and the following measures should be taken:

  1. Isolate infected pigs: Keep pigs with coughing and bleeding separately to prevent further spread of the virus.
  2. Rational use of medication: Based on the advice of your veterinarian, use antibiotics to prevent secondary infection and antiviral drugs to inhibit viral replication.
  3. Improve the environment: Keep the pig sty clean, increase ventilation, and reduce the chance of virus transmission.
  4. Improve feeding management: Strengthen feeding management and improve the immunity of pigs, thereby reducing the risk of infection.
  5. Other treatments: Depending on the condition, other treatments may be used, such as fluid infusion to replenish lost fluids and nutrients.

Please note that the treatment method for pigs coughing and bleeding is for reference only and is not a specific diagnosis and treatment plan. If you find that your pigs have symptoms such as coughing and bleeding, please consult a veterinarian for professional diagnosis and treatment in time.
