Chapter 226: Battelle asks for help, the pig is sick!
In the afternoon, Chen Chuan and his companions were preparing to go out to get some firewood.
Suddenly, a hurried voice came from the door.
"Chen Chuan, is Chen Chuan at home?"
When Chen Chuan walked to the door, he saw Bater running towards him with an anxious look on his face.
"Chen Chuan, come with me!"
When he saw him, Bater took him away without saying a word.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Chuan was confused and just picked up his backpack and followed him.
On the way, Battelle explained the reason.
"Several of my pigs are sick, and the tribal doctor is not here, so I have no choice but to come to you!"
Speaking of this, Battelle looked worried.
They have always lived in the mountains and have not had much source of income.
Pig farming is one of them, and a big one at that.
Especially the Battelle family, they raise four or five pigs every year and sell them at the end of the year.
The money obtained will be used for the children’s tuition and living expenses for the next year.
So, for them, if something happened to the pigs, it would be like a bolt from the blue.
Chen Chuan naturally knew this as well.
“What symptoms are the pigs experiencing now?”
Hearing this, Bartel thought for a moment and then answered.
"That's right, its eyes and tongue are red, its mouth is dry, it has a fever, it's weak, and it doesn't eat much. We've fed it a lot of rice in the past few days, but it didn't eat."
Speaking of this, Bartel let out a long sigh.
"It's only been two days, and the meat has lost at least several pounds."
"Do you think my pigs have contracted swine fever?"
In fact, these few days, when he saw the symptoms of the pigs, he also searched on the Internet, and most of the results said it was swine fever.
Even the Yisheng on Baidu asked him to burn his sick pigs to death and then dismantle the pigpen.
Anyway, it's said very seriously.
But these pigs are, after all, his family's most important source of income.
If it’s gone, how will their family survive next year?
The more I think about it, the sadder I get.
After hearing what Battelle said, Chen Chuan pondered for a while.
"I can't rule out this possibility, but I'll have to wait until I go over and take a look to find out for sure."
In the live broadcast room, netizens heard what they said and immediately advised Chen Chuan.
"Anchor, you'd better not go! That's swine fever, it's very dangerous!"
"To be honest, based on what the clan leader has described, there is an 80 percent chance that it is swine fever."
"The best way at the moment is to persuade the clan leader to deal with those pigs and cremate them directly."
"Yes, that's swine fever!"
Netizens have been trying to persuade Chen Chuan not to get involved in this mess.
Seeing these comments, Chen Chuan did not agree, but said.
"Whether it's swine fever or not, I'm going to go check it out. As you know, swine fever is very dangerous. If it's true, it must be dealt with first to prevent it from spreading."
"Moreover, in the Altai tribe, every household relies on raising pigs for their livelihood. If those pigs are gone, their children's tuition fees for next year will be nowhere to be found."
"But……"
Netizens still want to persuade, but they don’t know where to start.
Indeed, for Battelle and others, Chen Chuan can be said to be their only hope.
After the explanation, Chen Chuan did not continue talking, but quickened his pace and followed Bater back to the Altai tribe.
"This way!"
Bater took Chen Chuan to the pigpen in the corner of his yard.
The last time I came here, there were a few fat pigs and an old sow in the pigsty.
When I came back this time, the big fat pig inside had turned into a few little piglets.
I guess Bater had sold all those big fat pigs and bought a few piglets.
A few people walked to the pigpen and took a look.
Sure enough, the little piglets inside all looked listless and listless.
Chen Chuan even saw that one of the piglets was lying in the pigsty with its eyes rolled back.
Seeing this, Bater had no time to take care of Chen Chuan and the others. He immediately ran in and picked up the piglet.
At this time, the woman next to him also brought him water and fed the piglets.
After drinking the water, the piglet's symptoms improved.
But still very weak.
Chen Chuan also walked in, squatted next to the piglet, and reached out to start checking it.
First, I pried open the piglet's eyes and took a look. It was indeed red-eyed, listless, and had no appetite.
These symptoms are exactly the same as what Bartel described.
Then he looked at the skin of each piglet.
There was no bleeding, and the skin looked similar to that of a normal piglet.
Seeing this, he had already made up his mind.
"How are they? What's going on with them?"
Bater followed Chen Chuan all the time, watching him check each piglet.
Only after reading it did I dare to ask cautiously.
Until this moment, he was still terrified.
If Chen Chuan really said it was swine fever, then he would have to cremate these piglets no matter how reluctant he was.
Otherwise, it will endanger the poultry of the entire tribe.
“It’s not swine fever.”
Chen Chuan said directly.
"Although the symptoms are similar to those of swine fever, in swine fever, the skin will bleed, but this does not."
"what?"
When Battelle heard this, he was stunned.
"Really, isn't it? You didn't see it wrong?"
This huge surprise almost made Battelle dizzy.
It’s not swine fever, so, then these little piglets of his can be saved?
Thinking of this, he quickly said: "Then, what disease do they have?"
As long as there is hope, he will be happy.
Chen Chuan checked it carefully again and finally confirmed the diagnosis.
"It's a syndrome of Yin deficiency and liver hyperactivity."
"This kind of disease will cause the above situation."
At this time, netizens in the live broadcast room were stunned.
"Yin deficiency and liver hyperactivity syndrome? Did I hear it right? Isn't this a human disease?"
"Upstairs, I have this disease and have been suffering from it for several years!"
"So, pigs can also get human diseases? I've learned something new!"
Seeing the barrage, Chen Chuan explained.
"Yin deficiency and liver hyperactivity syndrome mainly occurs in spring and summer. If the pigs are not properly fed, the climate is abnormal, or the pigs themselves are dysfunctional, the disease will occur."
“It’s the same with people.”
As he spoke, he stood up and looked at his surroundings.
"The causes of Yin deficiency and liver hyperactivity in pigs are poor ventilation in the pig house, failure to clean up pig manure in time, too many pigs, and high ammonia concentration, which cause mycotoxins to form in the pigs."
"This will irritate the pig's respiratory system, causing congestion and even inflammation."
"In addition, if the pig house is not cleaned and disinfected in time, it will easily cause the pigs to become sick."
"This pig house is obviously the case."
"There are five or six pigs in such a small pig house, and the pig manure is not cleaned up in time. The piglets have low resistance to disease and are prone to illness."
Hearing Chen Chuan's words, Bater lowered his head in embarrassment. "In recent days, our family has been a bit busy, so the pig manure cleaning is indeed not in place."
As the end of the year approaches, the weather is getting colder and everyone is busy stockpiling supplies for the winter.
Naturally so do they.
That is why they kept the piglets locked up after buying them.
Apart from feeding the pigs every day, I basically don’t come over to check on them, and the pig manure is only cleaned up once every four or five days.
Sometimes when I come to feed them, I can smell a strong odor.
But they didn't think much about it. After all, raising pigs, as long as they can grow fat, it's fine. How could rural people care so much?
This also resulted in serious illness among these piglets, with several of them being infected at once.
If it weren't for Chen Chuan this time, they might have really decided to cremate these little piglets.
By then, next year’s income will probably be completely cut off.
"So, how should we treat it now?"
Bartel asked carefully again.
"Now, the most important thing is to clean and disinfect the pig sty, and then raise the piglets separately."
"After all these preparations are made, go down the mountain, buy this medicine, and feed it to the piglets. It is best to feed it with wolfberry, which will have a better effect."
"That's it?"
Looking at the list handed over by Chen Chuan, Bater was a little surprised.
He recognized the medicine above, which was an antibiotic for pigs.
I didn’t expect that this disease that seems so difficult can be cured by just taking antibiotics.
As for wolfberry, there is no need to worry about it at all.
Altai is the main place for growing wolfberry in the country.
The thing they have the most is wolfberry, and they can even eat it as a meal.
"This disease is caused by environmental factors, which leads to body dysfunction."
"The most important thing now is to restore the body's functions and increase the pigs' antibodies."
"Afterwards, you must also clean and disinfect the pig sty in time, otherwise, the consequences will definitely be more serious."
Chen Chuan reminded.
These are still little piglets now, if they really die of illness.
Their losses were not too great, and they still had time to buy new piglets to raise.
But what if the pigs grow up a little bit? Then the consequences will be much more serious.
Bartel obviously knew this as well, and he nodded quickly.
"Don't worry, we will definitely not be like this time."
"Luckily you came to help us check it out, otherwise, if we confirmed it was swine fever, we would have to cremate it."
Although, when they went to find Chen Chuan, they were just trying it out.
"It's okay, as long as the little piggies are okay."
Chen Chuan smiled.
At this time, in the live broadcast room, the netizen who had just said that he also had Yin deficiency and liver hyperactivity syndrome spoke.
"Host, can I use your recipe?"
In order to let Chen Chuan see it, he specially sent a rocket.
"It can be used. The situations of humans and pigs are actually similar. They are both caused by antibiotics lowering the body's function."
"You can go to the pharmacy and buy Liuwei Dihuang Pills, Zhibai Dihuang Pills, Dabuyin Pills and other medicines for conditioning."
"In addition, you should also pay attention to your health on a daily basis, often drink water soaked with polygonatum, dendrobium, wolfberry, ophiopogon japonicus, etc., and slowly recuperate."
Chen Chuan also gave this netizen a prescription.
"Also, you should eat a light diet and do more outdoor exercise to increase your body's metabolism."
After hearing this, netizens nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, thank you, host. These medicines are exactly the same as the ones the doctor prescribed for me when I saw him last time!"
"I've decided. From now on, I'm going to eat wolfberries as my meals!"
"Oh my god, the host has something on him!"
"Awesome! This anchor can not only treat animals, but also people!"
Netizens called it awesome.
By the time I finished examining the piglets, it was already four or five in the afternoon.
Battelle invited Chen Chuan to have dinner again.
In order to entertain him, I specially fried a piece of bacon and stewed a bacon pig's trotter, which tasted delicious.
During the meal, Battelle drank two sips of wine and couldn't help crying to Chen Chuan.
"Brother, it's a good thing you're here, otherwise our family would have suffered a lot of losses this time."
Chen Chuan also took two sips, but he could drink quite a bit.
"It's okay. As long as you do what I say, these little pigs will be fat by the end of the year!"
"That's for sure. We didn't notice it before, but we've learned a lesson this time."
Bartel said with a hot face.
When they raise pigs, they don't pay attention to these situations. Basically, as long as the pigs can survive, it's fine.
But after this incident, they will have to be careful in the future.
Not only that, he also wants to remind other poultry raisers in the tribe.
After dinner, Chen Chuan suggested going back.
This time when he went out, Chen Xiang and Da Huang followed him.
So, even though it was getting late, we could still go back.
Before leaving, Battelle handed the two little piglets to Chen Chuan.
"We found these two little wild boars in the mountains a few days ago. There was no sow around."
"I felt sorry for them at the time, so I brought them back."
"I'm giving them to you now. I remember you said last time that you have a snow leopard at home. It just so happens that wild boars are the favorite food of snow leopards."
"Ah? That's not necessary, right?"
Looking at the little wild boar grunting in his pocket, Chen Chuan was a little dumbfounded.
They were originally living temporarily at the site and had no intention of developing aquaculture!
"Take it. The snow leopard is the guardian of the Altai Mountains. If you give these two little wild boars to it, it will be considered as our tribute."
Bater forcefully stuffed the two little wild boars into Chen Xiang's hands.
Then he handed them a big bag of wolfberries.
"I don't have much to give you at home, but I still have a lot of wolfberries. You can take them back and soak them in water to drink."
Chen Chuan didn't refuse this.
This is good stuff. Take it back and use it to make soup or soak it in water. It will be good for the people at the station.
"Okay, let's go first!"
After receiving the thank-you gift, Chen Chuan and the other person started walking towards the station.
By this time it was completely dark.
However, there was white snow shining on the ground and the sky above was not very dark, so they could see the road.
After walking for more than an hour, we finally arrived at the destination.
Erha heard the sound from afar and ran out to greet them.
"Wang Wang Wang!"
As soon as the Husky ran out, he saw the piglet in Chen Xiang's hand and immediately surrounded him excitedly.
Nie Feng and the others haven't slept yet.
"Chen Chuan, you guys are back?"
"Why did you bring two little piglets?"
Seeing the little pig, several people looked puzzled.
"Yes, it was given by Bater. He picked up these two little wild boars in the mountains and gave them to us to raise."
Chen Chuan explained.
"What's going on? Why is Bartel looking for you so anxiously?"
That afternoon, seeing Battelle so anxious, they thought something had happened.
"It's nothing serious, just that his pigs are sick, so he asked me to go over and take a look."
