Basic vaccination schedule for pigs?

[daniel-delarosa]

I was wondering if there was a vaccination schedule for pigs, kinda like there is for dogs. Is all you treat for is worms or are there other things? What ages and how long before you butcher?

Breeders have many different opinions on this so I can only tell you what we do. We worm at 8 weeks old when we wean & that is it unless we see a problem which is very rare. However our pigs are out on pasture & we breed them to be hardy. Not into pampering our stock.

Worming at 8 weeks old is vitally important in my opinion as it just makes sure you do not have a problem on your hands. As for vaccinations. we do not give any & some people on here will no agree with us. We believe in the animals building up their own immunity. I personally do not want to eat that in my meat.

Hope this helps.
