CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to deal with sow skin bleeding

introduction

Sows are one of the most common economic animals in the farming industry. However, skin bleeding problems can have a negative impact on the health and production performance of sows. This article will introduce the causes of skin bleeding and how to treat and prevent this problem.

Causes of skin bleeding

Bleeding in the skin is usually caused by:

1. Malnutrition: Sows’ feed that lacks essential vitamins (especially vitamins C and K) and minerals (such as iron and zinc) can lead to fragile skin that bleeds easily.
2. Trauma and friction: Long-term crowded environment or fighting with other pigs may cause skin damage and bleeding.
3. Parasitic infestations: Certain parasites, such as scabies and lice, can cause itching and breakage of the skin, leading to bleeding.
4. Disease: Some diseases (such as porcine infectious anemia and vitamin C deficiency) can cause sows' skin to be fragile, easily injured and bleed.

How to deal with skin bleeding

Once the sow is found to have skin bleeding problems, the following methods can help deal with it:

1. Adjust feed: Make sure the sows’ feed contains adequate vitamins C and K, as well as iron and zinc. This can be achieved by working with your veterinarian to adjust the feed formula.
2. Improve the environment: Provide a dry, clean and spacious breeding environment to reduce fighting and quarreling between pigs and avoid trauma and friction.
3. Parasite control: Carry out parasite control in a timely manner and clean and disinfect pig houses regularly.
4. Disease prevention and treatment: Take preventive and therapeutic measures in time according to the condition to ensure the health of the sows.

Ways to prevent skin bleeding

In addition to treating skin bleeding that has already occurred, there are several ways to help prevent it:

1. Scientific feeding: Reasonable feed preparation to ensure that sows get enough nutrition; regular physical examinations to promptly detect and deal with potential health problems.
2. Provide a suitable environment: Keep the pig house dry and clean, and avoid crowding and environmental stress.
3. Regular parasite inspection and control: Regular parasite inspection should be carried out and control should be carried out when necessary.
4. Strengthen biosecurity: Take appropriate biosecurity measures to prevent the spread of disease.

in conclusion

Skin bleeding is a common problem in sow farming, which may be related to many factors such as feed, environment, parasites and diseases. By adjusting feed, improving the environment, and conducting parasite control and disease prevention, skin bleeding problems can be effectively treated and prevented to ensure the health and production performance of sows.
