Chapter Twenty-Five: Pig Pig Is Sick

The Bald Mountain Pig Farm has already begun to be built, and Tian Fei told Pingping that after the plan, there is basically nothing to worry about. Ping Ping is a veteran craftsman, and he can take care of all aspects of building a pig farm. Tian Fei is a little in the way.

The felling of cedar forests was also carried out in an orderly manner, and after a few days of cooperation, everyone's efficiency has improved significantly. After the trees on the mountain were cut down and transported down, Tian Fei planned to let these people sort out the branches and trees again, and then go to the village to ask a master to help build a kiln and burn a few furnaces of charcoal. As for the mountain, like Bald Mountain, plant a crop of autumn corn first.

After thinking about it, Tian Fei also felt that there was nothing to do, so he planned to go to the pig farm to have a look. These days, because he has been busy with things on the side of Bald Mountain, Tian Fei entrusted Sun Yonglin with the matter of pig farm breeding, and of course he also added 200 yuan to his monthly salary.

When he came to the pig farm, Tian Fei heard the cries one after another. Sun Yonglin was cleaning the pigsty at this time.

"These pig brothers, you really can't starve them. Tian Fei saw that a small cart with feed was placed at the door of the pig farm. So he went over and pushed the cart into the pigsty, looking at the noisy little pigs, Tian Fei also felt very happy in his heart. After changing clothes, Tian Fei picked up the aluminum spoon and began to feed.

"What's it called, isn't this coming, eat quickly. ”

Poured the feed in the car on the cleaned ground of each pigsty, looked at the second senior brother who was scrambling for food, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Hey, what's going on with these two, why are they not in good spirits. ”

Tian Fei looked at a pig of fifty or sixty pounds. It seems that it is a little in bad spirits, and it has not taken a bite of food.

"Well, it's also a cold, it shouldn't be, it seems that I don't want to eat. ”

After a second closer look, he saw that the two pigs had run to the other side of the herd.

"It seems that it's okay, but I'm thinking too much. Forget it, don't worry about it for now, and then take a look at the rest after feeding. ”

After speaking, Tian Fei left the pigsty and pushed not to go to the next pigsty. However, if he looked closely, he knew that although the pig's mouth was in the trough, his mouth was not eating. It's just arching its nose hard inside, and there's some clear liquid in it.

After feeding all the pigs, Tian Fei still remembered the two pigs, and came to observe the meeting, but still found that the two pigs were indeed a little abnormal, and then Tian Fei jumped into the pigsty again, touched the pig's neck, and felt that the temperature was a little high, and he might have a fever.

In order to confirm the diagnosis, Tian Fei planned to take a thermometer to measure the temperature.

Measuring the body temperature of pigs is one of the most commonly used basic operations in veterinary clinics, usually measuring the temperature in the rectum of pigs.

Tian Fei took out a veterinary thermometer with a 15-centimeter-long rope tied to the end from the toolbox, then disinfected the thermometer with an alcohol sponge, and threw the thermometer downward after detoxification, throwing it below 35 degrees.

I saw Tian Fei holding the pig's tail with his left hand, holding the thermometer in his right hand, and slowly inserting it into the pig ** along the direction slightly to the back side, about two-thirds of the length, and then using a small clip to clamp the rope to the long hair above the pig's back, and let go of the pig after fixing. Tian Fei waited for three or four minutes, pulled out the thermometer and looked at it, it was more than 41 °C. In the same way, Tian Fei measured the temperature of another pig. It is also more than 41 °C.

Tian Fei knows that the normal rectal body temperature of pigs is 38-39.5 °C, the normal body temperature of ordinary piglets is 0.5 °C higher than that of adult pigs, and the normal body temperature of pigs in the evening is 0.5 °C higher than that of pigs in the morning. Now that it has measured more than 40 degrees, the two pigs obviously have a fever. Tian Fei's next step is to diagnose what disease the pig has and how to use the medicine.

"Old Sun, when you cleaned this pigsty just now, do you remember what dung is like?" Tian Fei planned to confirm it from the dung first.

Lao Sun thought for a while and said, "It's dry, some of it is still relatively dry."

In this case, swine fever and PRRS are ruled out.

Then Tian Fei carefully observed the facial features of the pig's head and found that the pig's eyes and nose were oozing mucus, and the nasal secretions were sometimes bloody. He also breathes rapidly and has paroxysmal spasmodic cough. Tian Fei went over to catch them up, but they all looked lazy. After taking two steps, he fell down again.

In addition, this season is the height of summer, Tian Fei can basically determine that the pig should have epidemic acute cold, which is often referred to as swine flu. The disease is characterized by high morbidity and low mortality.

Now that he has been diagnosed, Tian Fei is going to start giving medicine to the piglet. Tian Fei used analgin injection intramuscularly, which was effective and inexpensive.

The medicine and syringes were kept at home, and Tian Fei had to go home to get them first. So Tian Fei simply observed all the pigs first, and made sure that only these two were sick before going home to get medicine.

After returning home, Tian Fei took out the syringe and needle, then put it in the sterilizer and sterilized it with high-temperature steam.

……

After inhaling four milliliters of analgin injection into the syringe, Tian Fei took the needle and came to the back of the piglet. Then insert it two fingers behind the pig's ears and gently push the syringe. It is still relatively easy to inject the piglets, because the piglets have thin subcutaneous fat, and then the pigs will not move if they are not energetic. Using the same method, Tian Fei changed the needle and gave another injection.

When the injection was given, Sun Yonglin was also watching from the side. Tian Fei also intended to train Sun Yonglin, so he explained to him how to inject pigs. After beating, he taught him to pay more attention to observation, how to determine the health of pigs through pig eating, pig feces, pig skin and even pig emotions.

"Old Sun, pigs are very sensitive, they are not like people. People may be hidden, but if there is anything wrong with the pig, it will be reflected in the appearance and behavior, so the health problems of the pig can be judged by these things. Tian Fei continued.

"In order to prevent the spread of germs, it is also necessary to do a good job of hygiene and disinfection of the pig farm, ventilation is also very important, and you should always open the windows during normal times. ”

……

Because he was worried that the whole group would be infected, Tian Fei also fed it with traditional Chinese medicine mixture. This traditional Chinese medicine prescription was also written down by Tian Fei when he was in school: 15-30 grams of nepeta, honeysuckle, large green leaves, bupleurum, kudzu, kudzu, mutong, banlan root, licorice, and dried ginger (about 30 kilograms per head, weigh, etc.), the medicine was dried, crushed into fine noodles, and then mixed into the material and fed.

Because of the timely and accurate treatment, after two days, the sick pigs were all cured and did not affect their growth too much.

Tian Fei thought about it, but the precautions for this batch of pigs were not done well. For the next batch of piglets to be bought, Tian Fei plans to be vaccinated against several common diseases.
