Treatment
If your herd has a problem always examine the at risk pigs twice daily to identify and treat affected pigs early.
Streptococcus suis is usually sensitive to penicillin, synthetic penicillin's or sulphonamides.
Injections of penicillin should be given twice daily.
Good nursing is equally important because the condition is very painful. Remove the piglet during the first 3 to 6 hours from the litter to a warm environment and carefully supplement it with milk via a stomach tube.
