Keeping a pig well during jackpot season?!?

We are wanting to jackpot this year to get my kids additional ring-time experience. But I have heard nightmares about sicknesses acquired through the jackpot circuits. Any advice on keeping pigs well during and after a jackpot show? Is there something you can give them as a preventative?
