How to treat pigs with low temperature?
First of all, we must be clear that the normal body temperature of pigs is between 38--39.5 degrees, the body temperature of small pigs is slightly higher, and the body temperature of large pigs is slightly lower.
For example, a 300-pound sow, its normal body temperature is generally about 38.5 degrees, if its body temperature is between 39.5 degrees - 40.5 degrees, it belongs to low fever. If it is above 40.5 degrees, it is a high fever.
If a pig's body temperature is 37 degrees - 38 degrees, it is slightly low, if the temperature is lower than 37 degrees, then its low temperature is more serious.
In general, pigs have low temperatures, there are two situations:
The first is that the pig has a high fever before, for example, the pig has a fever of 41 degrees, we give it cephalosporin + flunisin meglumine, or aminopyrine, and then, its body temperature drops very badly, causing the pig to have a low temperature. In this way, it has 2 outcomes: one is that the body temperature returns to normal, and then the pig returns to health, and the other is that the pig's body temperature continues to drop, and the pig hangs, which is more dangerous.
Therefore, when the pig has a fever, we should dispense the right medicine, for example, between 39.5 degrees - 40.5 degrees, the body temperature of the pig is not very high, we generally use cephalosporin, plus plate blue root, or double yellow lian, or chai hu, if more than 40.5 degrees, or more than 41 degrees, we can use cephalosporin, plus strong fever drugs, such as: aminopyrine, flunisin meglumine.
The second is that the pig was very healthy before, without any symptoms, inexplicably the body temperature dropped, the spirit is not good, do not like to eat, this situation often occurs in the pregnant sow, as for the reason is difficult to find, no one knows.
Regardless of which cause causes the low temperature of pigs, our idea is to strengthen the heart and heat up.
If the body temperature of the pig is between 37 degrees and 38 degrees, this is slightly lower, we hit vitamin B + creatinine on the one hand, and sodium camphor sulfonate on the other side.
If the body temperature of the pig is already below 37 degrees, this time it is actually in a state of rescue, while playing creatinine + vitamin B, the other side of the adrenaline to rescue.
For those pigs with bad spirits, especially serious, we have to timely infusion to rescue, 10% glucose water 500 ml, +20 ml vitamin B, +10 ml more than creatinine, or adenosine triphosphate, directly to the pig infusion, this time do not consider first salt water, after sugar water, direct infusion of sugar water, to a pig to supplement energy, to the pig heating is the most critical.
When giving infusions to pigs, pay attention to the temperature of the liquid, especially in winter, when it is relatively cold, be sure to heat the liquid slightly, do not let it be too cold, the stimulation of the pig is very large.
For those pigs whose body temperature is a little low, the spirit is OK, and they still eat, we should add a little glucose powder and vitamins to the material, which will greatly help the recovery of pigs.
