CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Prevention and treatment of sow shrinkage

What is Sow Shrinkage

Sow tuberculosis, also known as lymphadenopathy, is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which mainly affects the lymphatic and respiratory systems of pigs. Sow tuberculosis is a serious infectious disease of pigs, which not only causes economic losses to the breeding industry, but also poses a major threat to zoonoses.

Transmission routes of sow shrunken bacteria

Sow shrews bacteria are mainly transmitted through air droplets and the digestive tract, and can be passed to offspring through mating and breast milk. In theory, any animal or person who has close contact with infected sows or other pigs may be infected with sow shrews bacteria.

Prevention methods of sow shrinkage

1. Vaccination: Currently, there is a vaccine for sows with swine fever on the market, which can be used as a preventive measure. However, vaccines cannot completely block the spread of pathogens, so it is necessary to combine other measures for comprehensive prevention and control.

2. Environmental sanitation: Keep the environment in the pig farm clean and sanitary, disinfect the pig houses regularly, remove the environment where pathogens exist, and reduce the spread of the epidemic.

3. Strict control: Strengthen personnel management to prevent people infected with sow shrinkage bacteria from entering the pig farm, implement a strict entry and exit management system to avoid cross infection.

Treatment of sow shrinkage

1. Early detection: Early detection and isolation of sick sows to reduce the spread of the epidemic. Monitor the health of pigs through temperature detection, blood tests, etc.

2. Drug treatment: Use anti-tuberculosis drugs, such as isoniazid, remin, etc. The drugs should be used reasonably under the guidance of a veterinarian, and attention should be paid to the dosage and course of treatment.

3. Vaccination: Sows that are already sick can be vaccinated to improve their immunity, alleviate symptoms, and reduce the risk of infection to other pigs.

Conclusion

The prevention and treatment of sow tetanus is a very important task in the breeding industry. Only through comprehensive prevention and control measures can the spread of the disease be effectively curbed. At the same time, strengthening vaccine research and development and use to improve the immunity of pigs is also a focus of attention. I hope this article will be inspiring and helpful to pig breeding industry practitioners and related scientific researchers.
