WHY PIGS LOSE THEIR TAILS

Than Damp Bedding - Scours
Started by Changing Feed.

There are several causes that are
RESPONSIBLE for the loss of small pigs
tails. The tail is very tender IN the
first few weeks of the pigs life ana
several troubles will cause Its loss.
There is nothing that causes the
loss more frequently than damp bed
ding, which starts fever that ends
in the loss of the tail and thereby
disfigures the pig. For this reason
dry. bedding should always be pro
vided.
Scours also frequently mean the
loss of the tails of young pigs Scours
can be started by change IN the
sow's feed, especially by letting ner
eat spoiled fruit, and in other ways.
