CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Causes and countermeasures of diarrhea in pigs

Causes of diarrhea in pigs

Diarrhea in pigs refers to the condition in which pigs have too much water in their feces and their feces are thin. Diarrhea in pigs may cause problems such as stunted development, slow growth, and decreased immunity, so it is very important to understand the cause of diarrhea in a timely manner and take appropriate countermeasures.

1. Drinking water pollution: Drinking water may contain bacteria, viruses, parasites and other pathogenic factors. If pigs drink these contaminated water sources, they are likely to suffer from diarrhea.

2. Feed problem: If too much anti-nutritional substances such as soybean cake and cottonseed cake are added to the pig feed, or if the feed is stored for too long or becomes moldy, it will cause indigestion and diarrhea in the pigs.

3. Digestive tract infection: Digestive tract infection is one of the most common causes of diarrhea in Chinese pigs. Pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites infect the intestines, causing inflammation of the intestinal mucosa and leading to excessive water.

4. Pig environment problems: Dirty pigpen environment, poor ventilation, high humidity and other problems may cause pigs to have stress reactions, damage their immune systems, and cause diarrhea.

Strategies for dealing with diarrhea in pigs

1. Pay attention to the quality of drinking water: ensure that the drinking water for pigs is clean and hygienic, strengthen the cleaning and disinfection of drinking water equipment, and keep the water source fresh.

2. Reasonable feeding: Rationally configure feed ingredients and proportions, avoid adding too much anti-nutrients, and pay attention to feed quality and storage time.

3. Prevent infection: Strengthen biosafety management, conduct regular vaccinations, and avoid infection by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites.

4. Improve environmental conditions: keep the pigsty dry and clean, ventilate properly, control humidity, and prevent pigs from being affected by environmental stress.

There are many reasons for diarrhea in pigs, and the response strategies need to be adapted to local conditions.
