How is flatulence in a pig?

There are many reasons for the flatulence of pigs, which are shown in the following aspects:

1. Feeding management. When raising pigs at ordinary times, they are careless and have no scientific breeding management. Especially in hot weather, pigs will drink more water every day. If management is not strengthened, pigs will bring water into the pig trough, resulting in excessive water in the feed. If the feed is not eaten that day, the feed will become rancid and moldy the next day. When pigs eat too much of this feed, it will lead to flatulence in the stomach of pigs.

2. Especially for sows, too much green and watery feed is given to pigs, or too little green feed is given to pigs, and pigs lack exercise, resulting in constipation. Because many excretions are not removed in time, flatulence occurs.

3. As the temperature rises, in the hot season, the farmers will directly drink the water from the well to the pigs, but sometimes the water is too cold, which stimulates the gastrointestinal tract of the pigs and eventually causes flatulence.

4. Disease factors. Other diseases can cause flatulence in pigs, such as colibacillosis, clostridium perfringens, infectious gastroenteritis, clostridium welchii disease, infectious constipation, etc.

How to do with flatulence?

When a pig has flatulence, the first task to do is to take emergency measures to deflate the pig. Avoid delay in rescue, which may lead to the death of sick pigs. Possible solutions:

1. Manual deflation.

① Use a gastric catheter to insert into the pig's stomach until gas is discharged. Then do not continue to insert until the gas is slowly released. When deflating, you can see that the belly of the pig is slowly shrinking, just like a balloon.

② After venting, pour 0.1% potassium permanganate solution into the pig's stomach to facilitate the excretion of the pig's stomach in time.

③ For those with serious disease, use a long needle to puncture and deflate the air between the penultimate third rib on the left side of the pig and the position parallel to the back. After gas release, 10% lincomycin, 10% amikacin, metronidazole and sodium bicarbonate were injected intravenously at the deflated site.

2. Individual drugs.

For sick pigs with mild flatulence, the above methods can be omitted. It also has good effects with drugs.

① For the flatulence caused by constipation, you can pour vegetable oil or paraffin oil into the anus, and the flatulence of the pig will slowly return to normal after the dry feces of the sow are discharged.

② If it is caused by clostridium welchii, yeast and other gas-producing bacteria, metronidazole and other drugs can be used.

How to prevent pig from flatulence?

Because most of the flatulence of pigs is difficult and die quickly, the way to prevent it is to do a good job in advance, especially in the season when the temperature is gradually rising and it is easy to induce the disease. Measures to be taken:

1. When feeding pigs every day, pay attention to check whether the feed is mouldy. Deteriorated feed should be cleaned out in time.

2. For sows, green fodder is a good fodder in this season. If conditions permit, pig farms can increase feeding times, and try to ensure that pigs can exercise regularly according to the actual situation.

3. In the daily breeding management, do a good job in environmental sanitation, and ensure that the pig trough, drinking water tank and pig house are clean. It is recommended to disinfect regularly if necessary.

4. If pigs with symptoms are found, they should be carefully observed and treated in time to avoid causing flatulence.
