Vaccinations/Anti-Parasite Control
The choice to vaccinate or not may not be yours to make. Some cities require vaccinations in order to be in compliance with zoning restrictions, so be sure you check yours before making the decision not to vaccinate your pig. These vaccinations do not typically eliminate the risk completely of your pig contracting these diseases, but they significantly decrease the chances. Erysipelas, for example, has 22 strains, pigs are susceptible to 15 of them and the 3 most common have a vaccination that can be given. That leaves 12 strains that your pig could potentially contract. Vaccinations for different illnesses and diseases have been around for years, we vaccinate our children so if exposed to a potentially life altering disease, they're protected. This is the same reason we vaccinate pigs, to protect them from contracting life altering/threatening diseases. Parasite control, however, needs to be included at the very least, every 6 months. Ivermectin and Fenbendazole
Pigs can and do get parasites, including worms.
