28 —Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 7,1978 Now is the time (Continued from Page 10) Dairy barns usually need more ventilation attention than other livestock barns. Most stall barns will need two or more fans to move out the foul air. A well insulated ceiling is very important to prevent sweating and dripping. Good ventilation will improve the health of both the animals and the dairyman, will give the building longer life, and reduce barn odors in the milk and on clothing worn into the home. TO WORM HOGS This has been a good swine practice for generations and still continues to be a problem in most herds. Surveys indicate that 95 per cent of all hogs marketed have one or more types of worm parasites. This means that the producer is not getting top feed efficiency and the cheapest cost of production. The hog population is dense in this part of the country and many feeder pigs are imported from other areas. Every group of pigs should be wormed one or more times, and local breeding animals should be wormed regularly. It is reported that worm larvae can be passed from the sow to the baby pigs in the uterus, as well as through the colostrum of the first milk. Producers are urged to check with their local veterinarian regarding materials to use on feeder pigs, as well as pregnant sows.
