HOW TO DETERMINE IF SWINE HAS FEVER

[sanico]

Hi Doc,
Aside from making "kapa" to the pigs to determine its body temperature, can we
use a thermometer to determine if the pigs has fever ? Please teach us how to do it and
what are the procedure and process.
Thanks

You can put thermometer in the anus of the animal. For 1 minute insert a thermometer in the anus of the pig. Hawakan po nila yun thermometer for one minute don't let go. There  are time kasi na naglilikot sila and if binitawan nila ang thermometer baka mabasag.

doc is it ok na pagnagkakaroon ng fever ang alagang baboy ay pinaliliguan ng suka ang buong katawan nya?

There are some who use vinegar for fever but its expensive kasi compared to using proper medicine.

You can use it as a temporary solution. Best pa rin is to give antipyretic drugs /kontra lagnat.

Try cold compress,check temp every 15 minutes kung bumaba na.

Ang normal temperature ng baboy is 39, kpag 40 may lagnat na po ito.
