DISEASES AFFECTING PIGS (PART 2)

Tapeworms

These are flat and long ribbon-like creatures found globally. They don’t have a digestive tract so they absorb food through their skin. They especially absorb folic acid and vitamin B-12.

Some of the symptoms an infected pig displays include poor growth and a swollen belly. The pig may also develop a rough grey hair coat. The best way to prevent attacks by tapeworms is to regularly deworm your herd.

You should take care when preparing pork as your food as tapeworms cause pork measles in pigs which can infect humans’ as well through undercooked meat.

SOME DISEASES AFFECTING PIGS PART 1

A sick pig should be taken care of immediately so as not to spread disease or die which will cause you untold losses.

Some of the general symptoms a sick pig may display are;

à The pig may loose appetite for food and water.

à Its breathing may increase rapidly as an indication of a fever.

à A change of pigmentation as white pigmented pigs may become reddish.

à The pigs’ ears appear droopy ears or ears pointing downwards.

à Their eyes may become dull eyes.

Diseases can be caused by parasites which can either be internal or external. The most critical internal parasites (worms) that may attack your pigs include;

Roundworms (Ascaris lumbricoides)

They are found in the stomach and consume food from your pigs as they eat. This deprives the pig off nutrients, therefore, makes them thin.

Giant roundworms are very common especially the tropical climates that are warm and moist. They are about 6 inches on average.

Pigs become infected after ingesting eggs present in contaminated soil or forage grown in infected soils.

When infected, your pig will loose weight and display symptoms such as anaemia and anorexia.

The best way to prevent roundworms is periodic deworming (every 3 months).

If you run a completely organic farm setup, then you can use herbs such as moringa which is said to be able to kill intestinal worms.

I use moringa leaves from time to time and it works for me. Tomorrow we shall discuss Diseases Affecting Pigs Part 2.

CROSS BREEDING

Mating two individuals from different breeds thus introducing into the progeny a gene combination that is different from that existing in either parent or in the breed of either parent.

Cross breeding can involve two or more breeds, depending on the desired result.

The sole purpose of cross breeding is to take advantage of the observed improvement in performance of the progeny of either parent
- hybrid vigour or heterosis.

Methods of cross breeding

1: Cross Breeding Between Unidentified Breeds;

2: Cross Breeding Between Unidentified Breed born

Effect of Cross Breeding

# Local sow with her piglets

sow with her piglets

# Female piglet from local sow and Male piglet from exotic sow are taken by a farmer to his home for breeding propose

# Breeding between these male and female pig

# Healthy and bigger body size piglets are born from the local sow

# All male piglets are sold and few selected crossed bread female are kept for breeding

# Another exotic male which is not in relation with the herd introduced for breeding.

# Breeding between them

# Very healthy, strong, active and fast growing piglets are born
