Ileitis in fattening pigs is a common gastrointestinal disease in pigs, which mainly occurs in the ileum of pigs. The disease can cause loss of appetite, indigestion, slow growth, and even death in severe cases. Therefore, timely treatment and prevention are crucial.

Treatment

The key to treating ileitis in fattening pigs is to prevent further progression of the disease and promote recovery of the pigs. The following are several common treatments:

• Antibiotic treatment: The use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, such as erythromycin, oxytetracycline, etc., can effectively inhibit the reproduction of pathogens and reduce inflammatory responses.
• Antidiarrhea drugs: Giving fattening pigs antidiarrhea drugs, such as copper sulfate, zinc sorbate, etc., can effectively control diarrhea symptoms and reduce intestinal damage.
• Diet adjustment: Provide pigs with easily digestible feed during treatment, avoid overfeeding and high-protein feed, and promote the recovery of digestion and absorption.
• Supportive therapy: such as supplementing nutrients such as electrolyte solutions, vitamins and amino acids to enhance the pig's resistance and help it recover.

Precautions

In addition to treatment, prevention of ileitis in fattening pigs is equally important. Here are some preventive measures:

• High-quality feed: Rationally match feed to ensure balanced nutrients, enhance pigs’ resistance and reduce the risk of disease.
• Environmental hygiene: Keep the pig house clean and dry to reduce the breeding of pathogens.
• Vaccination: Vaccinate as recommended by your veterinarian to improve your pigs’ immunity.
• Reasonable stocking density: avoid overstocking, maintain air circulation in the pig house, and reduce the spread of diseases.
