In the delivery room, the new-born pig's yellow-water diarrhea can be rolled over in three days, and after weaning a popular diarrhea can make half a month's heart go to zero. This is not alarmism; it is a cruel reality that i have witnessed at first hand in the pig field for over 20 years。
Pork diarrhoea is never a single “disease”, but a “death syndrome” made up of bacteria, viruses, parasites, the environment and management gaps. It is terrible that, when it explodes, it ignites a fire in its fragile intestinal tract: acute dehydration, electrolytic disorders, acid poisoning, and these deadly chain reactions quickly kill the pig in hours to days. According to industry statistics, certain viral diarrhoea can lead to 100 per cent mortality in seven-day-old pigs in poorly managed pig farms。
Twenty years of real-life warfare have taught me that winning this battle cannot be achieved by just one or two “special effects needles”. It requires a combination of “precision diagnostics, fast cut-off sources, systematic treatment, rigorous prevention”. The following manual, which combines numerous lessons and success stories, will lead to a systematic dismantling of the challenge。
Chapter i: diagnosis first — uncovering the true killer behind diarrhoea
We have to be “detectors” before we give drugs. Different pathogens vary in the age of the attack, the symptoms and the loss. Blind use of drugs is tantamount to anti-aircraft fire against mosquitoes, which is a waste of money and a further delay in saving lives。
Core points for identifying diarrhoeal diseases common to pigs
Chapter ii: treatment requires a combination of western and central medicine war
When clearly diagnosed, treatment must be fast, accurate and stable. My principles are: “emergency treats the symptoms, slow treats the root; west drug control, chinese cure”。
Emergency disposal: combating dehydration and secondary infections
This is the first step in saving lives, and any cause of serious diarrhoea must be implemented immediately:
Chinese medicine treatment: “slow work” to restore intestinal health
The western medicine is based on the rapid suppression of the pathogens, while the chinese medicine has the advantage of regulating the whole, repairing the damage and consolidating the healing effects. Diarrhoea is classified by the chinese veterinarians as a variety of probative types, such as wet fever, typhus, spleen, etc., which require treatment。
Modern chinese preparations have greatly improved their efficacy through technological innovation. For example, the approach to research and development reflects the modernization of chinese medicine:
Nutritional support: “fuel” for rehabilitation, chapter iii: prevention as a foundation - building a robust “intestinal line”
The best treatment is for the dead. Real winner, win in prevention. Stereolines must be constructed from the mother, the environment and management。
The health of the mother is the source 2. Environment and management is the key 3. Monitoring and early warning is radar summary
In the face of diarrhea, what we need is not a “doctrine”, but a system of preventive thinking. From accurate and rapid clinical diagnosis to a combination of systematic medical treatment in west and central africa, to the firming of the mother pig, the environment and the management of the triple-preventive bastion, every link is critical。
Remember, the highest level of diarrhoea control is that it doesn't happen at all. This requires us to keep these seemingly cumbersome details in constant fashion through the management of every day, every column and every pig. When you work normally, the sound of diarrhea in the delivery room will eventually be replaced by the sound of a healthy pig's milk。
