Sow milk swelling: common problems on pig farms

In the process of pig farming, sow milk swelling is a common phenomenon. Sow milk swelling is mainly caused by excessive milk secretion after delivery and insufficient feeding of piglets. Generally speaking, sow milk swelling is not a big problem, but if it is not handled in time, it may cause complications such as high fever.

Treatment

Sows with milk swelling should be taken seriously by pig farm owners. Timely treatment can reduce discomfort to pigs. Here are some treatment methods:

• Milking : Milking can relieve the sow's discomfort caused by milk engorgement and keep the milk pads clean and dry.
• Adjust feed : A reasonable mix of feed can reduce sow milk swelling and prevent piglets from underfeeding.
• Maintain the environment : Keep the pig house environment clean and keep the sows healthy.

High fever treatment

If the sow has a high fever, timely measures should be taken:

• Cooling down : You can use cooling drugs or wiping to gradually lower the pig's body temperature.
• Observation : Observe the pig's condition in a timely manner and ask a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment if necessary.

When the sow has milk swelling and a high fever, timely treatment can avoid the occurrence of the disease and ensure the healthy growth of the pig.
