Split/hole (bifurcation?)in middle (only) of front wall of hoof-what is this?

One of my buyers sent me a picture of their 4h pig (fair starts next Thursday). They washed him for the first time this week and found a hole the front of his hoof wall in BOTH back feet. He isn't lame or sore from what she can tell. The hole appears to be in the middle with both ends closes. I can ...

Sow sick URINARY? Help

I have a 2 year old sow who went down Sunday and has been very lethargic since. Gets up to food twice a day but otherwise goes and lays right back down and doesn't want to get up will allow you to sit on her and doesn't allow you to push her to get up. I thought it was because she and a new sow had ...

Want to get away from 15gal heated buckets that they tip or get disgusting with wash back. Do the cup wateres work on gravity flow? Which type? We have the type they push a button a...

Draminski #s & silent heat

Have a gilt that at 5.5 months showed signs of cycling when we took her to the local fair: swelling, vocalization, and mounting other pigs, never did get her to stand but her mom is difficult to get to stand also and we rely heavily on the draminski to get her bred. 21 days after she was mounting ot...

Late born pigs how to push weight gain early

Pigs born later than wanted and will be 5.5 months at showtime. Would like to push their weight gain early so they are at an avg/simiar weight to rest of pigs at first weigh in (3.5 months prior to the kid's fair). If I feed the 319 longer rather than going to 519 and 719 will they gain faster? (my ...

PCV M G2 timing

The PCV M G2 can be given in a split dose at 3days and again at 3 weeks or all at 3 weeks. Is there good argument to give in the split dose vs 1 dose later in life? The gilt is UTD on all her vaccines and is not around other pigs, the town is also not a high pig population. Just thinking less invasi...
