Pigs in autumn and winter need to prevent clefthoof disease
In recent years, pigs have developed cleft-foot disease on some large-scale farms every autumn. The onset time started from October and November, and it was the most serious in December. Most of the onset of illness are reserved male or female sows that are to be provided or initially distributed, and are kept in new pig houses with rough cement and brick floors. Occurrence of local pain after hoof cracking, inability to rise and fall, secondary to muscle rheumatism due to less movement in the lying ground; some worn out the skin, the formation of local abscess. The light affects the scheduled mating or normal activities during pregnancy, and the weight of those who are severely killed or eliminated. The etiology is mainly due to the change of temperature from warm to cold in autumn, due to the adaptive regulation of body surface capillary contraction of the pig, resulting in the reduction of normal lipid secretion, young trotter shell thin, plus rough ground and other collision friction, Cause cracks in the hoof shell. The prevention and control methods should adopt comprehensive measures, mainly: First, after the fall into the cool season, check the condition of the piggery and the facilities in the house. For example, if the concrete or brick floor is too rough, it can be polished with bricks or machinery, but it should not be too smooth to prevent pigs from slipping. Sharpen the sharp parts of the troughs, railings, and partitions. Housed in hay, it can protect the hoof, but also keep it cool, prevent muscle rheumatism. Second, add 200 mg of vitamin H per ton of compound feed to prevent hoof cracking. If there is an illness, the amount added increases by a factor of two. As of the end of January, reduce or stop adding as appropriate. Under normal feeding conditions, it is best to add 100 mg of biotin per ton of batch material to the entire herd. Third, from October onwards, always check the hoof shell surface of the pig. If it is too dry, apply vaseline or vegetable oil every 3 to 5 days to protect the hoof shell and prevent chapped cracks. Fourth, the incidence of pigs fed 0.5 kilograms of carrots a day, plus 1% of fat in compound feed. Cracked hoof shells, apply 1 to 2 times daily cod liver oil, both moisten hoof shell and promote healing. If there is inflammation, perform local disinfection and decide whether or not to inject antibiotics, as appropriate. Sick pigs should avoid long-term lying, to help several times a day, forced to stand, activities, to prevent secondary muscle rheumatism, causing greater losses.
