[Explanation] Recently, a reporter from China News Agency learned from Yangzhou University that the young doctoral group of the school's School of Veterinary Medicine relies on the school's national key disciplines and first-class majors in veterinary medicine, the Ministry of Agriculture's Key Open Laboratory of Animal and Poultry Infectious Diseases, and the Jiangsu Provincial Human and Animal Science. Platforms such as the Key Laboratory of Comorbidity Diseases, adopt rapid differential diagnosis methods for common and emerging infectious diseases of livestock and poultry, comprehensively grasp the epidemic situation of diseases in farms, remotely guide baby pigs to treat diseases, and solve problems for professional pig farmers.
[Explanation] According to Liu Penggang, a young teacher at the School of Veterinary Medicine of Yangzhou University, in order to better apply their professional knowledge to practice, they started technical services as early as October 2019 and joined the "Qinghe" science and technology volunteer service team in Jiangsu Province in 2022. , which consists of doctoral students.

Our original intention to set up the "Qinghe" science and technology volunteer (service) team in Jiangsu Province is to apply professional knowledge to practical applications.
Now, in addition to daily work and study, we also need to contact the breeding base to do a good job in related services.
[Explanation] Liu Penggang told reporters that at present, there are four members of the volunteer service team. Because of their love and understanding of the veterinary profession, they do not think it is a very tiring and dirty job.

For the first time, I personally entered the farm wearing protective clothing, and had close contact with the pig baby and the pig mother. Holding the pig baby was like holding a cute little pet.
At this time, the feces of the piglets were collected, and they did not feel dirty and smelly at all. At this moment, I felt the pride of being a veterinarian.
[Explanation] Liu Penggang and his volunteer service team started work after receiving a request for help from a technician from a pig farm in Yizheng City, Jiangsu Province.

I communicated with the members of the volunteer service team, and based on the description of the symptoms, it was recommended to do nucleic acid testing for porcine epidemic diarrhea and infectious gastroenteritis. The initial diagnosis was yellow and white diarrhea of piglets, and a treatment plan was given. an ideal effect.
[Explanation] How to treat the little piglet?
Liu Penggang expressed this to reporters.

When a piglet is sick, we will use professional veterinary equipment, including a stethoscope and equipment similar to a CT machine, for clinical diagnosis, and formulate an exclusive medical record file for the baby pig to facilitate follow-up treatment.
[Explanation] Team member Yang Fan said that when he first signed up for the Ph.D. Volunteer Service Team, he was very uneasy and uneasy, for fear that he would be considered a "fake veterinarian" by the farm technicians.

In fact, I like this veterinary profession, but I am afraid that others will say that we can only do theoretical research and do not understand production practice. By participating in the doctoral group (volunteer) service team, we will walk into the pig breeding base again and again to carry out disease detection practice. We can apply what we have learned. , while serving farmers and improving their professional capabilities.

The Yizheng League Municipal Party Committee, together with the Yizheng Municipal Agriculture and Rural Bureau and the "Qinghe" Volunteer Service Group of Yangzhou University, launched the "Qinghe Online Dream Village" activity.
It is hoped that through similar activities, more youth will be contributed to rural revitalization.
[Explanation] It is reported that the scientific and technological volunteer service team will visit the pig farm every one or two months to check the pig herd, and conduct environmental sanitation monitoring, pathogenic microorganism detection, and vaccine immunization procedures for more than 10,000 live pigs every year.
