Vaccinations---What your pig should have

From time to time, we have people who ask what shots the breeders should have given the pigs before they are sold. This should also be a reference point for those of you that buy your pigs. This is what we vaccinate our little pigs for:

IPD for newborn pigs and revaccinate again at 7 days. (IPD stands for Iron, Penicillin, & Draxin)

Circovirus vaccine-a must have! I would strongly suggest avoiding buying pigs that were not vaccinated for this.

DectomaxWormer-to be given at least once by the breeder and revaccinate again at 150 lbs.
(please remember 1 cc per 75 lbs and withdrawal times of 18-25 days).

Mycoplasma Pneumonia shot

Rhinitis/Eryispelas/Flusure/Bordetella protection

If you have any questions on any of these vaccinations, please let me know.

Thanks,
Adam
