How to choose the injection position and needle model for intramuscular injection of drugs to pigs of different sizes?

We often give pigs intramuscular injections of vaccines or related drugs. Once the injection site is swollen and suppurated, the relevant ingredients used do not produce the desired effect

We often give pigs intramuscular injections of vaccines or related drugs. Once the injection site is swollen and suppurated, the relevant ingredients used do not produce the desired effect. And the size of the pig is different, the choice of injection location and needle model is definitely not the same.

So today, I 'd like to share with you in detail. The choice of specific location and the determination of the needle model.

Generally lactating piglets, we choose the nine-gauge needle. After weaning until within 60kg, we choose the 12th needle. Weighing from 60kg to 200kg, we usually choose a 14-gauge needle. More than 200kg, we choose 16 needles.

If it is a sow, we choose a sixteen gauge needle, and choose a long needle with a length of 4.5cm.

The specific injection position is determined as a big pig weighing more than 200kg. Three fingers wide behind the ear. is the longitudinal axis of the injection site. The midline of the root of the pig ear. That is, the upper edge of the pig's ear root and the lower edge of the ear root, choose the middle point. Draw a line parallel to the horizontal axis of the body and the spine. is the location of the intramuscular injection. So no matter the size of the pig, we can determine its injection position by this law. The smaller the piglets under 200kg, the higher the injection position. The problem of the upper and lower height of the injection position depends on the choice of the upper and lower edges of the ear root and the middle point of the injected ear, regardless of the size of the pig. At the same time, when injecting the pig, the injection site should be slightly massaged and stimulated to prepare the pig to relax in advance. It can also reduce stress during injection.
