⏰
It is the 1st of the month.. Time to deworm your show pig!

We recommend Ivermectin - this is used for the control of internal and external parasites including roundworms, lungworms, and mange mites in swine. These parasites can slow growth rates and cause coughing if not treated!

Worm eggs can be found in the dirt, on concrete and wood (even after power washing!), in trailers, even on the bottom of your boots. Anywhere there have been pigs, there will be worm eggs, and they can last for years in the environment. That is why it’s crucial for pigs to be regularly treated.

❄It will be cooling off this weekend! Prepare to keep your pigs warm with dry shavings and heat lamps.
