Hello Marcel.
First that everything, would be interested to know what limp type you have in the farm, what inclination in the floors you have, plastic floors, cement, etc. Some of the causes possible of this problem, they could be:
Micoplasma
Estreptococus
Stafilococus
High degree of humidity
Problems in the disinfection of the corrals and teams

An alternative for the handling of this situation would be to manage antibiotics more antiinflamatorios at the time.
Penicillin-estreptomicina-dexametasona
Penicillin estreptomicina-betametasona
Minimum for 5 serial days

Also treatments with solution podal:
1 liter of water
200 grms copper sulfate
200 cms of formol
20 grs of blue of metileno

It is also indispensable that you improve the disinfection of the farm and the bioseguridad of this.
Do I wait comments in this respect, especially how you walk of micoplasma in this farm?
Thank you.

The laminitis problem is presented by excess of humidity in the floors or stagnation of water in the same ones. The ideal thing is that you solve this humidity in the farm, and the treatment that I offer you it is that you add 1 liter of water, 200 grms copper sulfate, 200 cms of formol, you apply it for aspersion or with hyssop, every day until seeing improvement. Be careful with the copper sulfate, since this is an antialgario and it is toxic, since with a gram of this in a liter of water, it can end up killing a rodent.

Hello Marcel.

With regard to the bioseguridad revision and conditions in facilities, I share the concept of the Dr. Newmark. However, although the problems evidence them in precebo stages and put on weight, I believe opportune that evaluate the evolution attentively from the nursing. It is important that you identify the conditions of the animals fully, since if you are in front of encapsulated bacterias, the antibiotic treatment can that it doesn't provide the prospective effect, and be necessary to apply to these animal topical treatments.

Definitively, the critical point is to avoid the excesses of humidity, to correct surfaces with excessive slopes and too rough textures. The objective is to move away from the annoying pharmacological treatments, and to look for the solution in simple modifications in a preventive way (as the bathrooms with copper sulfate and formol) and of infrastructure.

P.S. is zootecnista, and it interests me a lot the work in Pig Industry. If you have information it has more than enough labor options in this field, I thank you to contact me.

Many successes.

Good, Marcel. I hope it can collaborate you with this information. As they have already informed you, the problems prune them they can be presented by factors like: the humidity, the quality of the floor where the animals are located. But in personal form they have been presented by bad practices of handling of the pig, that is to say bad descolmillada, bad cure of the navel. These animals presented after the weaning problems you prune them y/o articulares due to infections caused by estreptococos, which I believe that they were evidenced by the stress postdesdete. During a lot of time I carried out healing treatments with penicillins, with formol and copper sulfate, but today in day have reduced these costs having a preventive plan and of handling in the good practices of the pig. I wait you can attempt this, and good luck with your animals.

Hello, Marcel.
The problem that you are presenting in the initial phases of the pigs, is given more than everything, for not taking the measures basic prophylaxes that are a good handling sanitarium and a good plan zootécnico.

does The excessive humidity contribute significantly to the problems of limps in pigs. I agree on the use of copper sulfate, formol, understanding that the Formol should apply directly to the helmet. Equally, in the Colombian market very good products are gotten for the treatment of the helmets, as they are they the casquil and the Ointment of Foot. But undoubtedly it is necessary to solve the problem of excessive humidity that also softens the helmet and it allows the invasion bacterial, that which increases the clinical square.

I Believe convenient you enlarge the information of the case with their respective record, ideal not only photographs of the case but of the facilities, it is not common this type of pathologies in the precebo area. In turn, are you giving commercial concentrated food??? The suplementas with something more???? Some handling practices from the attention of the navel, descolmillado, castration, they are obviously the entrance door to the patógenos, and they spread to be developed in the meninges or in the liquid sinovial, more the clinical manifestations are in nursing or early in the postdestete... It is indispensable bigger information of the case and of the autopsies.

1. Hello. The laminitis problem is due to the causes previously mentioned by the doctors. But I don't agree on the use of the formol with the copper sulfate, since this is a preventive treatment to avoid problems like the one that presents your herd. You already have the problem, what you should make is to use the sulfate of alone copper, since the formol in this stage of the illness is irritating. The formol is only to prevent, it doesn't stop to correct.

2. As second measure, you should use soft beds to obtain a better comfort in your pigs, it can be chip or husk of rice, if you have hard floors.

Thank you TO ALL THE DOCTORS THAT PARTICIPATE IN THESE FORUMS OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK.

Hello.
For Manuel of Jesus Pacheco.
With regard to your comment on the formol, we don't use it as healing because it is not rather a product that works specifically for this, the benefit that produces us the formol it would be only the one of hardening the helmets affected by the laminitis problem, benefit that if it produces the formol. We would also rot suplementar jello without flavor, which causes an interesting benefit in the formation of helmets. The dose that I work is from 40 to 60 daily grms, mixed in the food, for 8 to 15 days contínuamente, and it REALLY WORKS.
ATTN.

The laminitis problem you can correct with: I manage using soft bed or I shepherd where encharcamiento is not presented. With we don't contaminate it, it is economic and we improve the conditions of the animal.

Dear friends: I want to consult them the following thing: I have 2 pregnant sows, you make sick of the helmets of the back paws. It is convenient to apply them some antibiotic, or only with the solution of sulfate and formol is enough. The sows have 90 days of pregnancy.
Thank you for their collaboration.

When reading the great majority of participacione in this sense I have not read anything with respect to quizà the most important thing from my point of view that is the Nutritional aspect.

For example level of Zinc in the diet. Metionina of Zinc uses (Under the organic form). It is incredible the answer to this suplementación type in comparison with the OXIDES OF ZINC -
