Agalactia Postparto

Hello friends,
Lately they have been presented several cases of sows that during the first 72 hours postparto takes place in calostro but then flaw the nursings, I have discarded infectious problems because they don't manifest any alteration in its state of health, the nutrition is adapted according to the requirements, only flaw in the production of milk, they are sows of but of 1 childbirth.
He/she wanted to know some comment in this respect.

I had some problems with that, (I wait the it has eradicated completely), that makes now it is the following thing
before or after the childbirth some oxitoccico for the contractions
finishing the childbirth applies and I allow some 3 or 4 hours to happen, and I put him a couple of uterine skittles and I also apply calfon.
Apparently, it has worked at the moment.
If it works you you warn me.

Hello. I am looking for pictures it has more than enough syndrome of disgalactia postparto sdpp, good known as mma (metritis, mastitis agalactia). Thank you.

The most important thing is to revise the procedures that are carried out to the sow during the childbirth, because it is related with infections in ell conduit of the same one. To apply estrógenos to make of the conduit from the most resistant childbirth to the entrance of infections is an alternative, but only in sows that present problems.

This syndrome you can present for many factors, not only the obstetric manipulations, but the place of the childbirth (hygiene), feeding (the constipation propitiates multiplication of the bacterias in the digestive tract), and in general, estrés situations in the periparto.

We suffered of agalactia in sows, and the form of preventing it it was carrying out laundries uterine three followed days after the childbirth, with cocimiento of Marabu or red mangrove, giving them to eat to the sows green complement, as the sweet potato liana, and giving water with molasses, with tremendous results, and without using chemical some, being a sustainable and ecological treatment.

Doctor Paul Loayza,
Cordial greeting.

To make a comment on their question, it is necessary to keep in mind many possible causes of the problem of their reproductoras.
The agalactia can be unchained by a sharp mastitis, and to be accompanied by an endometritis vs metritis.
The inflammatory processes of the udder can lead to a necrosis of her, with functional alteration of the glands with alveolar collapse without sweat.
It is accepted that an endocrine deregulation exists as factor patogénico of the (mma), although one ignores the precise etiología at the moment.
Certain theories are invoked:
* intestinal endotoxinas
* endotoxinas liberated in mastitis in I associate with interesting factors and endocrine imbalances
* primary and secondary bacterial illnesses (estreptococos, estafilococos, clostridios, etc).
* oxitocina deficiency like endocrine disfunción.
* faulty handling before the infectious factor.
* it lacks of freedom of movements (to root).
* growth of bacterias in the liquid retained loquial, in metritis and mastitis.
* sows with numerous neonatos, distocias and obstetric help, what bears uterine atony with retention of liquid loquiales, those that are contaminated by germs patógenos.
* sows bought recently, which have not made comfortable at their new porqueriza level (deficiency of specific antibodies).
It is necessary to keep in mind the factor (I manage), if we don't make a correct handling of the sow in the preparto, it is possible that I/we are presented this agalactia class in the one which the doctor Paul informs us that there is not any class of bacterial pathology.
The comfort of the sow before and after the childbirth it is very important to avoid this class of problems.
The excessive heat, the cold without control, the presence of possible depredadores of the pigs like they are the dogs, the rats and other, they subject to the sow to an estrés state that he/she goes to of improving the production of milk of the reproductora flagrantly.
Another factor that I have not mentioned is the genetic quality of the sow that I imagine it is of good quality and of line milkmaid, because, without this quality, let us make that we make we won't achieve a good production of milk on behalf of the sow for the neonatos.
The feeding of the sow in the gestation process until the moment of the childbirth is a point in which we often make a mistake. If we don't prepare to the sow with an appropriate feeding, in which is given concentrate for such an end, either alone or accompanied by by-products used for feeding of pigs, it is for sure the layer of fat and muscle that he/she has to have the sow to be able to confront this process so critical for the sow as it is the nursing, he/she won't be possible to respond in an appropriate way, and consequently the production of milk will make very below the dear parameters.
The nursing concentrate is very useful for sow since possesses a formulation balanced to prepare to the sow (of five to ten days before the childbirth), so that the present elements in him (calcium, match and proteins, etc) that are those of more concentration in the product and of more demand for the sow when the nursing, be good us to increase in the organism of this the levels of these elements, and this way to achieve that a desbalance is not presented in the organism of the sow, and this way to avoid the consequences that this represents.
These are some of the practices that I often use:
-a the sow is advisable to give him a laxative (sulfate of magnesia 50 grs) in some of its food portions the day 112 of the gestation to avoid the constipación.
-immediately after the childbirth, I recommend the application of 1 oxitetraciclina ml (200 mg for ml) for each pv kg via deep intramuscular, to avoid possible infections taken place in the childbirth y/o by the obstetric handling of the sow on the part of the operatives of the farm.
To avoid inflammations of the udder, to help to the relaxation of this and the consequent slope of the milk for the effect of sensation of well-being that takes place in the animal, applies him after the childbirth betametasona sodium phosphate (2 mg/ml) to dose of 1 to 2.5 ml for animal via deep intramuscular.
-y lastly oxitocina (after being sure that the last pig comes out), as preventive to avoid retention placentaria and for the descent of the milk.
I hope they are he of utility my data.

I Agree with all the comments that have been carried out until the moment, but they have forgotten, or if some mentioned it I didn't see it, and it is the one referred to the micotoxina. If in the feeding they are using derived of the floury industry as the wheat afrechillo, in this a well-known mushroom can exist as ergot (it is a mushroom that is developed in the wheat plant before its crop). This mushroom has a very marked effect in the production of milk of any animal (included the sow).

On this topic there are two thousand theories and other so many remedies. After many years of profession, the treatment that has occurred better results in general, as treatment bases generalized after the normal childbirth, it is the oxitocina application three times per day during two days, and an antiinflamatorio and analgesic during three days post childbirth, I use of preference flunixin meglumina or another AINE for not diminishing the defenses of the animal.
The best indication that everything goes well it is soon the reestablishment of the appetite of the sow.
Of course that I am attentive to the appearance of any other symptom that can justify a variation in this treatment (you discharge vaginal, hipertermia, etc).

Doctor Lto Echeverria, would Be so kind he/she comments us how many oxitocina UI uses in each one of the 3 daily applications in the two days followed by the childbirth. Thank you.

In the topic of the agalactia, what gives me result is the application of some complex vitamínico mineral days before the childbirth, calcium 24 Hs after the childbirth and oxitocina 5 UI. There are times that the agalactia takes place because the animal refuses to eat, after the childbirth, what I use and with very good result it is to give them apples 12 Hs after giving birth to (it stimulates the appetite and the acceptance of the food a lot).

should The dose of Oxitocina be from 2 to 5 UI and repeated, because what interests is to make a hormonal pulsation on the system endócrino of the sow that serves as stimulus regulator before a supposed falencia. The appetite lack is one of the consequences of the syndrome, and it doesn't cause it of the same one, for it I use the appetite like a measure that it allows me to evaluate the state of normality of the recently given birth to female. The painful stimuli post childbirth are very important, and it is for it that when utlizas an AINE generally has good answers, although this you something as simple as the aspirin.

it is a topic quite intense, but many people they relate it with problems in yes of the sow.
It is always necessary to make a record of the sow, genetics, from where the sows come, in what place it is the farm, if in the heat, cold or temperate, and another very important situation, the handling of the female toward their maternity, what time he/she had before the childbirth, if there is enough water, and if the childbirth was easy or with problems, the disinfection of the place of the childbirth, before and later, but yes the oxitocina is one from the solutions to the agalactia problem. I recommend 3 days followed by oxitocina 2cc for 3 days, and it has worked me very well, always accompanied of an antibiotic by 3 days. Thank you.

many things have been said regarding the possible causes, all them valid, and possibly exist even more. But like it is a recomentación that has repeated in several opinions, I will refer to a colateral topic to that of this forum, but that I find convenient to remember. Although I am not veterinary, I have experience in the handling of animals (especially pigs), and we should have in consideration that, with the use of antibiotics, a very meticulous handling of the same one should be made as for its doses, times of use and active principles, otherwise we can have long term a bigger problem when being creating resistance to certain antibiotics on the part of the microorganisms. As you they will know, due to that cause antibiotics that are dedicated exclusively to the human use exist.
The other topic is the use of hormones, care with the oxitocina, it was already said but I reiterate it, we should have the absolute certainty that the childbirth finished, that is to say, they are not pigs to be born. I agree with which their use is beneficial, to the doses that have been recommended.

In my experience I have observed the Agalactia post-childbirth but well as a syndrome that has its etiologia in the alimentary and nutritional control in the I finish third of the gestation, the application of antibiotics in the food and a complement of calcium, match and vitamin ADE and like a colleague pointed out the tranquility in the atmosphere you/he/she is of supreme importance the same thing that factors or characteristic racial.

hello to all that that partipan in these forums of feedback positva,todos the points of view previously mensionados is of vital importance to prevent and to treat the agalactia.
I agree totally with the dr. very fundamental aguilar,es the flugo of water that they have the chupos since the 90 of the milk it is agua.si this it is scarce you will have problems of milk.

good afternoon to all, I find a quite interesting topic. it is important to stand out the handling that you him this giving to the sow to the moment of the childbirth, mainly with the adapted dosages of oxitocina, since the use of high dose of the product can unchain severe squares of endometritis, I recommend not to use them but of twice during the childbirth to reason of 5 ui/cerda.He had experience with the use of pgf2 alpha twelve hours post-childbirth, obtaining excellent important resultados.es the I stimulate of the feeding of the female during the nursing, the use of molasses in the food to the moment feeding the female is a very good alternative.

Hello to all. I am Med. Veterinarian and what I see is a great agreement in the comments, and if of something I agree it is that it is a syndrome and in this case multifactorial that I mean with this that you/they are many the factors that intervene like cause predisponente and desencadenante of this syndrome, for what I recommend to pay attention to each detail of this stage, since are the key of the hatchery. In my short experience, notice that the previous feeding to the childbirth (you finish 3 weeks) it plays an important paper, the food it should have the vitamins and necessary minerals for the stage and also to have an antibiotic. An as much as to the handling, the martenidad should have an important sanitary level, with the appropriate sanitary hole and the previous disinfection to the entrance, we carried out an entrance bathroom to all the mothers with iodo povidona to the 10 soapy sn, he/she also stayed all very clean one and the day before the childbirth they received a bathroom with water to moderate preción to take out the biggest quantity possible of fecal matter, what reduces the bacterial load of the atmosphere a lot. Another detail is the afternoon before the childbirths and the morning of the childbirth to cut the feeding, not to give, and to recapture to the afternoon of the day of childbirths once the litters were already matched. What gives good results for those that don't have appetite is to stimulate with Humid food, after the portion it is placed half of water. As for used drugs, the handling was similar to what the other colleagues outline. Good I hope it serves you as something, luck and a hug for all..........

As it has already been commented previously there are many causes for this problem and overalls, he/she doesn't have a single cause but rather some how many are conjugated us for here we avoid as much as possible to take out the pigs (to introduce hand, arm) and we treat as much as possible not to apply him any farmaco, in any event he/she is helped with Oxitocina if he/she doesn't have contractions and if the childbirth took a lot of time he/she is administered ESTROVET then and sometimes for cares with pigs that already present metritis squares or mastitis an Oxitetraciclina the following day of the childbirth but eye in its record, is avoided to prescribe the animals, that it is the premise.

I have read a comment on the bran, good our handling consists on to make him a flushing 10 days before the childbirth and to increase that of bran in the portion about 3 days before the childbirth calculated gradually, and the day of the childbirth is not given aliemnto to the sow and we have not had problem some with the bran (sub wheat product) happily and the flushing gives us good results in the sense that we prepare the sow to consume bigger quantity of nutritious that which influences positively in the nursing.

On the other hand, the conditions of the facilities, personal and instrumental it is very important, the continuous bed change is basic to avoid infections of any nature the same thing to take a bath to the sow days before the childbirth for desestresarla, they could even prove giving him vitamins of the complex B (I have not carried out it).

Greetings.

inside the treatment for this syndrome have mentioned the oxitetraciclina, he/she wanted to know that so efficient it can be the ceftiofur use in this case, thank you
