Importance of injecting pigs with medication

In the breeding industry, injecting pigs with drugs is a common veterinary operation. Injecting drugs can effectively prevent and treat pig diseases and improve breeding efficiency. However, the correct method and precautions for injection are crucial to the effect of the injection and the health of the pigs.

Preparation

Before giving pigs an IV drip, some preparation is required:

• Choose the right medication: Choose the right medication based on your pig’s health and your veterinarian’s advice.
• Prepare the syringe and needle: Choose a syringe and needle of the appropriate size and make sure they are clean and sterile.
• Prepare the injection site: Choose an appropriate injection site, commonly used sites include the neck and buttocks.
• Stay safe: Wear gloves and a mask to prevent cross infection.

Steps of intravenous injection

Here are the steps to properly give your pig an IV drip:

1. Prepare the pig: Position the pig in a safe and stable position for the injection.
2. Holding the syringe: Hold the syringe between your thumb and index finger, ensuring you have a firm grip.
3. Skin puncture: Insert the needle into the pig's skin at an angle of about 30 degrees.
4. Draw up the medication: Slowly pull up the plunger of the syringe to draw up the required medication.
5. Injection of medication: Insert the syringe into the skin and gradually push the plunger to allow the medication to enter the pig's body.
6. Needle removal: Remove the needle slowly to avoid extravasation of the drug from the injection site.
7. Waste disposal: Dispose of used syringes and needles properly to avoid secondary infection.

Precautions
