Title: Swine kidney worms Post by: Coady Curbow on February 23, 2021, 09:25:02 am We've caught several hogs lately that have been infested with kidney worms. Anyone else having this problem?

I did some research on the internet and figured out what they are. We have found 5 hogs that had them so far this year.

When I was growing up in we would always catch big Barrs in the fall and pen them up and corn feed them before butchering. Sometimes you’d have one buckle (get weak and crippled in the hind end) from kidney worms. We would pour turpentine down their back and they’d get over it.
