KEEPING PIGS HEALTHY
WELL DRAINED PIGGERIES ESSENTIAL. . ’ By the general practice of hygiene and sanitation in the piggery, coupled with sound feeding methods, the incidence of most pig diseases can be considerably reduced. Moisture is necessary for the free living stages of nearly all worm parasites; in its absence very few of them can survive for any length of time. Therefore, pig keepers who wish to avoid losses from worms must have dry, well-drained piggeries. Unhygienic conditions are predisposing causes of rheumatism, catarrh, and some of the more serious bacterial infections—such as supperative otitis and pneumonia. Correct feeding and watering, together with adequate housing and paddocking, are undoubtedly most important factors in the preservation of the health of the pig.
