Overuse of antibiotics causes immune disorders
It has become a habit to use antibiotics extensively in the health care of modern pig farms. In the case of antibiotic resistance, pig farms increase the dosage of antibiotics on the one hand, on the other hand, they are constantly looking for new antibiotics, and at the same time, they still believe in the so-called compound preparations of some veterinary drug manufacturers. In the long run, it is only increased the cost of drug use and for veterinary drug manufacturers to increase sales and profits, not much help to the health of pigs, and to cause the immune system of pig, the pig disease resistance drop, then need more antibiotics to protect the health of pigs, and then into a vicious circle. Once there is a virulent virus infection, the pig will completely lose its resistance, a large area of disease, death, pig farms will suffer great losses.
