How to Worm Pigs

The pig industry is a large part of the agricultural GDP of the U.S., with more than 67,000 people raising pork according to the National Pork Producers Council. Keeping these animals healthy is integral to a farmer's livelihood. Whether you own a herd of pigs or only one, it is your responsibility to make sure any worms are removed. The most effective way is with an oral worming solution.
