I saw a post from a pig friend asking for help, saying that they went to catch pigs a few days ago. After returning, all the pigs died, and none of the 60 piglets were spared. More than 100,000 piglets were lost in this way. After testing, it was found to be African swine fever. I wonder if there is any way to mitigate the loss.
In this case, generally speaking, after the pigs are released from the pig farm, we will not be responsible for any problems. Therefore, we must make careful preparations before entering the pigs. Now the piglets are very expensive, and the loss is not high. From now on, pig farmers want to buy pigs, the following points must be kept in mind.

First of all, the first point is to enter the pigs to go to the big pig farm. Now that the epidemic situation is present, after entering the pigs, check whether there has been an epidemic in the place where you are going. The distance is a little far, and you should also check whether you have passed the epidemic area on the road. It is best to take a detour. In addition, after arriving at the pig farm, it is very important to ask the pig farm to issue an African swine fever test report. If the place where you enter the pig is a retail household or does not have the testing conditions, then it is best to buy some test cards for testing. Whether the pig herd is normal or not, there is no need to say more about the severity of African swine fever. Everyone knows that if you have other pigs at home, it is not only that the pigs you caught are gone, but you may not be able to keep the ones you originally had!
Second, in addition to African swine fever, there are many cases of blue-ear disease and common swine fever in the incoming pigs. These diseases may be caused by secondary infection due to stress, or it may be that the pig farm has not been vaccinated, causing the disease. Therefore, when we enter the pigs, we must ask which vaccines have been made and when. The pigs are on the road, pay attention to preventing stress, and after returning, add electrolytic multivitamins to the water to prevent the pigs from being stressed. There is no need to worry about the day before the feed. Hey, enough water is enough.
Third, the isolation house, isolation is very important. If you have pigs yourself and you have brought in new pigs, then it is best to keep the two groups of pigs farther apart in the first half month. If there is a problem with the pigs, it will not Add the original.

Another point is that the pigs must be immunized in a completely stable condition. Some pig friends react. After the pigs are vaccinated, they start to get sick. After being vaccinated, the pigs will have some vaccine reactions. If the pigs themselves If you are ill, if you are vaccinated in this case, it is very likely to speed up the onset of the disease, so you must pay attention.
Now there are many new people entering the pig industry, and there are also many old pig farmers who are supplementing the pens. Everyone must be cautious and cautious, not to let the hard-earned money go to waste, inspection reports, vaccine records, these must be seen accurately, pig farms Once the pig is given to you, you buy it and then transport it away. If there is any problem, the pig farm will not take care of it, so be careful!
