Vaccination of sows is essential to protect their health. This article will introduce the correct sow vaccination method and related precautions to help farmers ensure the immune health of sows.

1. Choose the appropriate vaccine

Vaccine selection is the first step in sow vaccination. Choose the appropriate vaccine type based on the local epidemic situation and breeding scale. Common swine disease vaccines include swine fever, swine streptococcal infection, foot-and-mouth disease, etc. Please consult a veterinarian or professional organization to develop a vaccination plan based on the specific situation.

2. Understand the vaccination schedule

There is a specific schedule for the vaccination of sows. The vaccination time is determined according to the type of vaccine and the age of the pig. For example, farmers generally vaccinate sows during pregnancy to ensure the health of the sow and the fetus.

3. Preparation before vaccination

Before vaccination, some preparations need to be done. First, check the vaccine's expiration date and storage conditions to ensure the quality of the vaccine. Second, prepare the vaccination tools and equipment, including syringes and needles.

4. Inoculation method

Vaccination of sows is generally carried out by subcutaneous injection or intramuscular injection. The specific method is as follows:

• Fix the sow to be vaccinated in an appropriate position for easy operation.
• The syringe and needle must be sterilized in advance, and dedicated syringes and needles must be used.
• Choose a suitable injection site, such as the base of the ear, under the cervical ligament on the side of the neck, etc.
• The vaccine is injected slowly under the skin or into muscle tissue.
• After injection, gently press the injection site to help even distribution of the vaccine.

5. Notes

When vaccinating sows, the following points should be noted:

• Ensure the quality and validity of the vaccine and use fresh vaccines.
• When vaccinating, you must follow hygiene principles and use sterile tools and operating standards.
