coughing

[ka tasyo]

I have 4 heads of sows in the farrowing crates and 3 sows in the gestating crates  that are coughing for almost a week. One is due on June 15 and the rest already gave birth. We injected Neo-Flor and Lincomycin as advice by our vet. yesterday and today. We are now disinfecting the breeding area thrice a week. My vet told me that hot temperature which 32 'C to 34'c in the building causes the sows coughing.I wonder if this is one factor?

Hot weather could also be a factor especially if the manure underneath the pen is heated to the point that the manure produces gas. If your pen is around 32-34 degrees then it means air circulation is poor. Try to improve air circulation you could put industrial fans.

Ok Doc thank you. That was also the suggestion of my Vet. to put an industrial fan.

Doc, unfortunately namatay ung 9 na anak nung inu ubong sow.1 lang ang natira kahapon ng manganak sya kagabi. My vet told me that it is expected na ganun ang mangyayari kasi dahil daw sa coughing at thumping.

Sorry to hear that.

try to increase the immunity of your sow by giving vitamins and minerals. If she recovers from the coughing usually they will be more resistant to the disease you encountered.

Is it a stillborn or the piglets were born alive but later died?

The piglets were still born Doc. Thanks for the advice , i will give vit. and minerals.
