Worming pigs

Do you regularly worm your pigs? Or are you like me, and treat them only if you see worms?

I've just sold a couple of weaners (10 days ago) and worms have appeared in their droppings at their new home. None of mine have any signs, though. I wonder why?

We worm them about 2 weeks before we 'do the deed'. That's all. Not seen any signs of worms.

Anyone else? Rob? Chris?

We don't worm unless we have to. Did once, as a precaution. But, I was new and inexperienced, what can I say.

Only if needed, but usually all get done at weaning to cover them for life really. Just helps get the extra bit of growth out of them. If i sell on i always worm before they go.
