Pig scours

[The Kernel]

Ive got 3 Hampshire growing gilts with muck like pea soup but the rite colour. They are with 3 large white growing gilts, there muck is fine, it's been like this for a few weeks now, pigs looked healthy so I left it for a couple of weeks to see if it cleared up but it hasn't. All pigs are from the same farm and appear to be doing ok.
Is there anything good out there to jab them with to sort this out, any advice much appreciated.

First try feeding them an egg each. They love them. Might stop the problem, or slow it down a bit. If it works a bit, an egg a day for the next few days should help.

Thanks. I will try this and see how it goes.

Sorry to appear thick, do you mean a raw egg??

Not trying to hijack @Old Boar 's suggestion, but yes, raw egg. Shell and the lot. Do you know their worming history? Is it the same as th LW's?

I rung and asked the bloke I bought them off what he thought about it, but he didn't,t seem very interested he just said see how they go.The Hampshires are a few weeks younger than the large whites , so maybe they haven't had a wormer or a second dose of it or somethinglike that. When should pigs be wormed?

I worm small pigs, in their feed at the point of weaning, when they are eating well alongside the sow, so she is done as well, at the same time. Pigs have usually gone from here by 6 months, and I don't usually worm the slaughter pigs again. Under this regime, breeding pigs are done twice annually, but slaughter pigs once.

Will try the eggs & hav a word with the vet about wormer. Thanks very much for your time & help
