Causes of high fever in piglets

Piglet hyperpyrexia refers to the condition where the piglet's body temperature exceeds the normal range. Usually, a body temperature exceeding 40°C is called hyperpyrexia. The main causes of piglet hyperpyrexia are as follows:

  1. Infectious diseases: Piglets are susceptible to various diseases during their growth, such as swine fever, swine flu, etc. These diseases can cause inflammatory reactions in piglets, leading to high fever.
  2. Environmental factors: Poor environmental conditions for piglets, such as overheating, overcold, high humidity, etc., can also cause high fever in piglets.
  3. Dietary problems: If the piglet feed is unhygienic, nutritionally unbalanced or overfed, it will affect the piglet's digestive system and metabolism, causing high fever.

Treatment of high fever in piglets

Effectively dealing with high fever in piglets is one of the keys to ensuring piglet health. Here are some ways to deal with high fever:

  1. Cooling: First, the piglets should be cooled down. You can wipe the piglets' body surface with a wet towel, or use a cooler to provide a suitable ambient temperature for the piglets. At the same time, ensure that the drinking water and ventilation environment are good to help the piglets dissipate heat.
  2. Disease prevention and control: If the high fever is caused by disease, take timely medication and isolate sick pigs to prevent the spread of the disease.
  3. Feeding and management: Rationally adjust the feeding and management of piglets, ensure that piglets are given appropriate feed and drinking water, and keep the feeding environment clean and comfortable.
  4. Nutritional supplementation: Provide piglets with easily digestible, highly nutritious feed to replenish their physical strength and immunity and promote their recovery.

Summarize:

Piglet hyperpyrexia is a common health problem that seriously affects the growth and development of piglets. Understanding the causes of piglet hyperpyrexia and taking appropriate treatment measures are important measures to ensure the health of piglets and improve breeding efficiency.
