The control of worms is accomp lished by the prevention of worms, reduction in worm egg production and controlling immature forms before they do their damage. The main job of “Hygromix” is to keep costly worm damage from happening. So—to effectively control worms in swine—feed any of these feeds containing Hygromix: Red Rose Hog Meal, Red Rose Pig Starter Pellets, or Red Rose Pig & Sow Meal. Nothing else is required ... no starving, no limiting of feed, no isolation, no special mixing. The results pigs put on more weight, faster . . . and get to market sooner.
