How to Observe Sick Pigs in Farms

How to Observe Sick Pigs in Farms Taking care of the health of pigs in farms is important for their efficient growth. However, pigs can also get sick. In order to check and identify whether the pigs in your farm are showing signs of illness, we have some simple observation methods for you.

Observing behavior: Sick pigs may have different behaviors from healthy pigs. You can observe this from the pigs that look inactive, eat less food, are not energetic, or have no interest in food. They may also choose to sleep in a quieter place than usual.

Observing physically: Sick pigs may show clear symptoms on the body, such as a runny nose or tears, coughing, or louder breathing sounds. Or, the skin color of sick pigs may change. Sick pigs may have pale skin or darker red skin, wounds, or swelling of organs that have changed from normal.

If you find that the pigs in your farm are sick, you should contact a veterinarian or animal health professional immediately for the correct diagnosis and treatment. Remember that early treatment of the disease can reduce damage and prevent the spread of infection within the farm.
