Re: Mange
You do NOT use Ivermectin three days in a row. One injection and then another 14 days later should clear it all up. Do not use Ivermectin and worm at the same time. Some reactions could occur.

Re: Raw boar semen
If you can collect him, you need to learn how to extend the semen. You will need the extender, distilled water, the appropriate containers, etc. and a semen cooler. There was or is a nice tutorial at http://www.SGI.com.Swine Genetics International. This is where I learn to collect, extend and store ...

Re: 14 days till weigh in and I'm at max weight of 270..help!!
NEVER take water away from a pig, there are products to hold the weight, post in purina feed forum. do NOT remove water, they could get salt poisoning or a twisted gut when you do that. Never list to someone that tells you that, they do NOT knowwhat they are talking about.

Thankfully some of the very good breeders set out to try and save it. You could NOT find a gilt that would breed, if she bred, she aborted, if she was in heat she wo...

Re: Pig walking like drunk
More than likely the pig has an inner ear infection. This is what makes them walk like they are drunk and fall down. better get it treated quickly before you don't get any results. Hard to treat. research or ask a vet.

Re: Too many worming options...HELP!
There is not much out there for pigs since they took one of the best wormers off the market after 25 years. There is Safeguard and Ivermectin. PERIOD. Nothing else works. We use both and rotate them. Tractor Supply has small amounts of Fenbendazole, i.e, safeguard. Also you can get small bottle of i...

Re: Question 1/2 ton truck pulling a low profile trailer
go to: www.rvdreams.com and do a search. It will tell you exactly how to figure the weight that your truck can pull safely. Do NOT go by what people,dealer,etc tell you. It is a numbers game.

Re: Weight help please 14 days!
steam rolled oats, looks like oatmeal, won't help much with weight gain, but keeps the stomach calm and expands it.
