CATDOLL: Causes, symptoms and treatment of yellow diarrhea syndrome in fattening pigs

Yellow diarrhea syndrome in fattening pigs

Pig diarrhea syndrome, also known as pig diarrhea, is a common disease in pig farms that seriously affects the development of the breeding industry. This disease can cause pigs to have a decreased appetite, frequent diarrhea, slow growth, and even cause death in severe cases. This article will introduce the causes, symptoms, and treatments of pig diarrhea syndrome for reference by farmers.

Causes

The main cause of yellow diarrhea syndrome in fattening pigs is infection with pathogens. Common pathogens include Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Aeromonas flexneri, etc. These pathogens can be transmitted through feces, drinking water, feed, etc., infecting the digestive tract of pigs and causing diseases. In addition, poor environmental sanitation conditions and improper feeding management are also important causes of the disease.

Symptoms

The main symptoms of yellow scour syndrome in fattening pigs include:

  • Decreased appetite: Pigs lose appetite, refuse to eat or eat less, resulting in slow weight gain.
  • Frequent diarrhea: Pigs have watery or loose stools and their bowel movements increase in frequency.
  • Weak pigs: Sick pigs have reduced activity, unsteady walking, and appear weak.
  • Death of pigs: In severe cases, pigs may die from complications such as dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.

Treatment

The following treatments can be used for yellow diarrhea syndrome in fattening pigs:

  • Drug treatment: Antimicrobial drugs can be used to control the growth of pathogens and alleviate the symptoms of sick pigs. The choice of drugs should be determined based on the results of the drug sensitivity test of the pathogens.
  • Feeding management: Improve the sanitary environment of the pigsty, clean and disinfect regularly. Arrange feed reasonably to avoid overfeeding or feeding unbalanced feed.
  • Diarrhea prevention: Probiotics and intestinal conditioners can be added appropriately to improve the digestive function of pigs and reduce the occurrence of diarrhea.

In summary, yellow diarrhea syndrome in fattening pigs has a great impact on pig farms, but through reasonable treatment methods and feeding management, the occurrence of the disease can be effectively prevented and controlled. In the daily breeding management process, farmers should strengthen the management of the sanitary environment, regularly check the health of pigs, and take corresponding prevention and treatment measures in time to ensure the growth and development of pigs.
