CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Treatment of fever caused by cross infection in pigs

Pig cross infection refers to the phenomenon that diseases in a pig herd are spread from pig to pig, including many different types of pathogens, causing fever symptoms in the pig herd. When pigs have a fever, timely and appropriate treatment is the key to ensuring the health of the pig herd.

1. Early diagnosis

Before treating fever caused by cross-infection in pigs, early diagnosis is needed first. By observing the changes in body temperature, mental state and appetite of pigs, and conducting laboratory tests, it can be determined whether the fever is caused by infection.

2. Antibiotic treatment

Antibiotics are one of the main methods for treating fever caused by cross infection in pigs. According to the pathogen of infection and its sensitivity to antibiotics, veterinarians can choose appropriate antibiotics for treatment. Commonly used antibiotics include penicillin, erythromycin, cephalosporin, etc. However, when using antibiotics for treatment, attention should be paid to rational use of drugs, follow the veterinarian's advice and use according to the dosage.

3. Symptomatic treatment

In addition to antibiotic treatment, symptomatic treatment is also an important means of controlling fever caused by cross-infection in pigs. According to the symptoms of the pigs, some measures can be taken to relieve their discomfort, such as using antipyretic drugs, supplementing nutrition, and increasing water intake.

4. Precautions

In addition to treatment, it is also very important to prevent cross-infection in pigs. By strengthening the health management of the pig herd, regularly vaccinating, keeping the pig house clean and hygienic, and controlling the source of infection, the occurrence of cross-infection in pigs can be reduced. In addition, reasonable feeding and nutritional management can also enhance the immunity of pigs and improve their ability to resist pathogens.

In short, the treatment of fever caused by cross-infection in pigs requires early diagnosis, antibiotic treatment and symptomatic treatment, and strengthening preventive measures to ensure the health of the pig herd. If pigs are found to have fever symptoms, they should contact a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment in time to avoid further deterioration of the condition.
