Treating Our Piglet For Mange Mites; Preparing for Spring on the Homestead

[@1978Ecoria]

how did you treat the pasture so they didn't get reinfected?

[@Green_Heart_Family_Farm]

Nothing at all; they came to our farm infected because they were kept in poor conditions. Keeping the pigs out on pasture for years after this video was filmed, including having 20+ piglets, we never saw another case of mange mites.

How'd you do the Borax bath? Also,how long did it take him to tolerate enjoying be held?

[@Green_Heart_Family_Farm]

We just wiped him down with water mixed with borax. As he grew up he was happy to lay down for belly rubs, but he never really wanted to be held like a baby.
