Technological injuries in industrial pig farming

Abstract

Industrial injuries in pig farms of closed type are a very common pathology. However, nowadays, injury prevention and treatment of sick animals in the conditions of industrial pig breeding complex do not bring good results and require improvements. According to the literature, there is no information about the results of the use of ointments and immuno- stimulators in the treatment of pigs with bitten wounds of the ears, tails and other parts of the body. In this regard, we have set a goal to develop therapeutic measures for injuries of piglets in a pig breeding complex of a closed type. We analyzed the prevalence of industrial injuries in pigs. During the clinical examination, we studied the specific structures of injuries. The main cause of pigs injuries in industrial farming is cannibalism. In 28 days, 60% of pigs in the second experimental group, showed complete cicatrization of the wound, and 40% of animals showed this process regenerated on 85-95%, meanwhile 2 days they also had complete scarring of the wound. In 28 days, 50% of pigs of the third experimental group had a complete cicatrization of the wound, and for 50% were observed scarring of the wound by 75-85%, and only after 4 days they demonstrated the complete scaring of the defect. For the treatment of bitten wounds as a result of developing cannibalism, it is recommended, to use local treatment of wounds with chlorhexidine solution and argosulfan ointment daily 2 times a day and also to use the immunostimulator “Ferrovir” in a dose of 1.0 ml/m2 per week. Such scheme of treatment of bitten wounds gives the best therapeutic
