I have 7 weaners which will be ready to go on 11th August, 07. RG26 post code North Hampshire. All vaccinated and looking forward to pastures new. Tel: 0777 44 33 33 2
Jane, I’m not a customer, I am afraid, but am curious – vaccinated for what, please?
Hi there, have only just checked the website again having had several phone calls. I cant spell it but its nickname is ‘the purples’ and it sounds like eipsyphillious. regards, Jane
Do you mean Erysipelas. It is purple shortly before the pig dies and can be vaccinated against or treated early with penicillin.

Should have added Erysipelas is carried by a large number of pigs and only breaks out when the pig is under stress i.e. extreme heat/humidity, force fattening. So look after them well and it shouldn’t be an issue.
