from other parasites and disease
organisms.
These parasites are common
swine pests that are spread by
contact. They are a par
ticular problem in the winter when
hogs crowd together. Treatment
and control also are more difficult
in cold weather.
Mange mites burrow into the
skin, causing itching and in
flammation. A raw and scabby
skin condition results as the hogs
rub to relieve the itch. This occurs
over the entire body but the ears.

measures, Rank said. Under the
program, USDA shares the cost of
such work with-farmers who or
dinarily would not or could not
perform needed conservation
practices without the federal
assistance.
For additional information, and
in swine operations
back and hind legs are affected
most.
- Lice suck blood from the hog as
well as cause irritation and it
ching. Hair falls off in patches,
most frequently around the tail,
the ears and neck, and inside the
upper legs.
Fowler says hog producers can
do a good job of controlling mange
mites and lice by following these
guidelines:
✓ treat all sows 30 days before
farrowing;
treat growing-finishing hogs
as soon after weaningas possible;
times
to make reservations necessary
because of space limitation, the
director of the conservation and
environmental protection division,
ASCS, may be contacted at P.O.
Box 2415, Washington, D.C., 20013,
or by phone at 202/447-6221.
. treat boars before breeding
season;
-"V treat all new hogs
adding them to the herd;
treat the entire herd if an
outbreak of mange or lice is
detected; and
feed hogs a well-balanced
ration to keep them healthy.
Mange mite and lice control
requires a complete break in the
parasite’s life cycle. For lice
control in adult hogs, apply CO-
Ral, Tiguvon, malathion, Rabon,
lindane or toxaphene. Mange
requires two sprays at 10- to 15-day
intervals using lindane, toxaphene
or lindane-toxaphene.
Dipping vats with a lindane
toxaphene mixture are being used
for young hogs, says Fowler. Some
producers dip four-week-old
weaned pigs for mange, then treat
them k second time two weeks
later. Pigs less than four week old
should not be treated.
