Fly Bites on My Show Pig
Fly Bites on My Show Pig
I have a lot of flies around and in my hog pen. I clean my pen 2 times a day and the flies are still here, and I have tried fly traps, bringing in new dirt, and permethrin and the flies are still biting my pig. He has these bites all over his body and I have no clue how to get rid of the flies or his bites. I have had pigs on the dirt before and did not have this problem. Please Help!!

You more than likely have mites. Not uncommon. You need to use a dewormer like dectomax or ivermectin that targets external parasites. My preference is dectomax. Should clear up shortly after (within a week or so).
