|---|
Agalactia (or agalactorrhea) is absence of or faulty secretion of breast milk following childbirth.[1]
It is commonly associated with Sheehan's syndrome, following post partum haemorrhage.[2]
Treatment
The most commonly seen cause of agalactia in sows arises as a result of excessive colostrum/milk production around farrowing. In this circumstance, even a strong, healthy litter will not remove the milk, leading to pressure build-up in the udder and resulting tissue damage that limits milk production. [3] The selection of remedy is based upon the theory of individualization and symptoms similarity by using holistic approach. This is the only way through which a state of complete health can be regained by removing all the sign and symptoms from which the patient is suffering. [4]
