Farrowing fever
Farrowing fever is a complex of diseases with varying incidence in the stables. Farrowing fever not only affects the health of the sows, but also affects the newborn piglets to a great extent.
Farrowing fever, includes mastitis (ulcerative inflammation), metritis (brittle inflammation) and agalactia (milk deficiency) and is therefore called a disease complex.
PREVENTION IS COMPULSORY
Farrowing fever not only affects the health of the sows, but also greatly affects the newborn piglets.
The production of colostrum will be impaired in the affected sow, and often a situation will be seen where the sow remains on the stomach and does not turn over on the side so that the piglets can die. And the piglet mortality can easily reach six to nine percent, and it is precisely the lack of colostrum that has a negative impact.
Poor health of the sows, increased piglet mortality, lower growth in farrowing and increased costs for medicine all affect the farmer's purse.
There are several things in the environment and management procedures that increase the risk of Farrowing fever in the farrowing barn , and here it is obvious to think about preventative measures to reduce the risk.
