Do you use a regular wormer and mite treatment if so what and how often please.

 

[skrikopanik]

I don't. I think in the summer when the pigs are out grazing more I will consider worming them but mostly I'm a "if it's not broken don't fix it" kinda person...

 

[aalur]

I'm the same. although i use xeno 450 occasionally, or if i notice them scratching a bit more than usual.

i use ivermec for mites and round worm, and for lice xenex and as a normal wormer panacur .. mite treatment can be done 3 times a year same with the wormer x sam and his friend wont need doing again for another 3 mths at the least x

i don't only one of my pigs has ever got mites and i just treated her as soon as it was obvious she had it. i agree with the "if it's not broken don't fix it" theory, especially as mine hate any kind of medicine
