Pig coccidiosis is an enteric disease caused by coccidia parasitizing in epithelial cells of pig intestine. It is caused by Eimeria and other spores of coccidia, among which, isobaric coccidia is the main pathogen. Isoniazid is common in piglets, but adult pigs often have mixed coccidia infections. The parasites are transmitted as unsporated oocysts, but they must be sporulated before they become infectious.
The disease mostly occurs in 7 to 11 days of age, and coccidiosis as a disease mainly occurs in piglets. Although the disease is also seen in 3-day-old piglets, it usually occurs in 7- to 21-day-old piglets. The main clinical symptom is diarrhea, which lasts 4 to 6 days. The feces is watery or pasty, showing yellow to white, and occasionally brown due to occult blood. The piglets are coarsely messed up, dehydrated, emaciated, and the feces are soft and mushy. As the disease progresses, they become liquid and emit a rotten, milky-like sour taste. In some cases, diarrhea is limited by itself, and its main clinical manifestations are wasting and development. Although the incidence rate is generally high (50% to 75%), the mortality rate varies greatly, and in some cases it is low, and some may be as high as 75%. This difference in mortality rate may be due to the number of pigs swallowing sporulated oocysts. Differences with the environmental conditions of the farm and the simultaneous existence of other diseases. Pigs can be reduced by swine breeding using a kingpin.
The moist environment is conducive to the development and survival of coccidia, so the wet season, high-density feeding, poor sanitary conditions, continuous production will make the disease occur and prevalence.
Pig coccidiosis prevention and treatment methods
First, do a good job in the cleaning and disinfection of pig houses
With the all-in, all-out feeding mode, the pens must be cleaned strictly after each batch of pigs is transferred. Alkaline water can be used to disinfect the ground, pigs, feed troughs, drinking troughs, etc. Adult pigs are mostly insects and should be kept separately from piglets.
Second, do a good job in the delivery room environment
Keeping the delivery room clean, hygienic and dry. Sanitary waste, bedding and other soils should be treated in a centralized and harmless manner. The feces of the sows prior to farrowing must be removed, and the maternity ward must be bleached (concentration at least 50%) or ammoniated for several hours or fumigated. The pigsty should be empty when sterilized. To prevent workers from absorbing bleach or ammonia vapors, adequate ventilation should be provided or workers should wear protective masks. Feeders should be restricted from entering the delivery room to prevent the oocysts from being carried by shoes or clothing. Before sow suckling, the sows' udders must be washed and cleaned, and mothers and piglets should be separated in time after feeding. Feed, grass and sow breasts are contaminated by coccidial oocysts that may cause piglet infection. With the use of the technique of growing a pig with a golden duck dry-sweeping bed, the manure is turned into the fermented layer and fermented, and the heat of the organism kills the coccidia oocysts, reducing the chance of infection.
Third, strengthen feeding management
When changing the type of feed, it is necessary to pay attention to the gradual transition and not to suddenly change it. Strengthen feeding and management, feed should be diversified, and enhance body resistance.
Fourth, strengthen drug prevention
In areas with high incidence of coccidiosis, anticoccidial drugs need to be added regularly and care should be taken to promptly change the drug types. For the pigs with clinical symptoms, the addition of sulfa drugs has a certain inhibitory effect on the disease. The sulfa drugs mainly act on the asexual reproduction stage of parasites.
Fifth, treatment
Drugs such as perillin can be used for treatment, and sulfa drugs or anti-thiamine drugs are effective for treating coccidiosis.
