Title: HELP, My hogs keep dying Post by: Newbe on December 19, 2011, 01:49:58 pm Im needing some help, I've had three hogs dye on me now one of them wast the first boar I had ever caught. I was feeding corn then I started feedind some 12% sweet feed. During the summer I had a kiddie pool out there and even setup a sprinkler. The hogs never seemed to gain any weight no matter what they ate and some one told me that I could've got a Hog with some kinda worms and now its in the ground. Does that sound right, and if so how do I get rid of'em?

I was feeding it to a sow and she died with her guts hanging out her butt. Fed some to three more later on and the same thing happened. But definitly need to worm em.

I got it from the feed store. They told me to give two cup's per. grown hog. Just get you a 1/2 pound bag and it should have it on there.
