How to solve the problem of pig biting tail

Some bitter and nontoxic potions, such as berberine, can be applied to pig tails several times a day.

Berberine has bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects and is extremely bitter. It will be very bitter for a pig to bite its tail, forcing it to give up biting its tail. In addition, pigs with tail biting can be kept in captivity alone. If the wound bleeds, it should be pressed to stop bleeding. The bitten part should be cleaned and disinfected with 0. 1% potassium permanganate and coated with iodine glycerin to prevent infection. Severe cases can be treated with antibiotics.

Pigs bite their tails because they bite their tails when their mood changes. Unbalanced nutrition in feed, especially mineral deficiency will cause tail biting. Too high density, dirty air in pigsty and too high temperature and humidity will all lead to this situation. In fact, tail cutting is an effective measure to control tail biting. The younger the pig, the better. Generally choose 1-2 days after the piglet is born, so the recovery will be faster. But pay attention to reduce the pressure when operating.

Introduction of pig biting tail

Pigs are very sensitive to the living environment, so it is necessary to maintain the comfort of the feeding environment to meet the normal physiological requirements of pigs, prevent the feeding density from being too high, avoid the indoor temperature from being too high or too low, maintain appropriate relative humidity, regularly ventilate to reduce the concentration of harmful gases, discharge dirty air, and appropriately reduce the illumination time and intensity. All these measures can reduce the possibility of pig tail being bitten.

Pigpens should be regularly deworming, and generally ivermectin, albendazole and other drugs can be selected. While expelling parasites in the body, we should pay attention to expelling lice and scabies from pigs, otherwise it will lead to tail biting due to the influence of parasites.
