Clean Sweep Dewormer for Show Pigs

You are feeding something you did not buy

You picked the feed. You researched the supplement program all summer. You are standing at that feeder twice a day, every day, doing everything right.

And a portion of it is going to something else.

Parasites eat first. Whatever is left over is what builds your pig.

Here is the part that keeps it hidden. A pig can look completely healthy and be carrying a full load. No limp, no cough, no gaunt flank. He looks fine because parasites are not trying to hurt him. They are just trying to eat.

He can carry it in, and the ground can hand it to him

The trailer is the one everybody thinks of. A pig comes home from a sale looking bright and sound and carrying a load nobody mentioned on the invoice.

The ground is the one almost nobody thinks of.

Swine roundworm eggs live in soil for decades. Not a few weeks. Not a season. Decades.

Back in school, Doc’s parasitology professor kept a vial on the shelf. Roundworm eggs, seventy years old. Still infective. Seventy years in a jar, waiting on their next pig like they had nowhere else to be.

So if you are telling yourself the ground is clean because you have not run pigs on it since last year, hear this.

That dirt remembers.

Whatever the last set of pigs left out there is still out there, waiting on the next one to come along and pick it up.

One scoop per 50 pounds. Once a day. Three days in a row.

That is the label. That is all of it.

One level scoop is one ounce. Mix it into 1 to 6 pounds of that animal’s ration and feed it for three consecutive days.

What that one sentence cost

Most medicated feed labels are written to survive a lawyer, not to be followed in a barn at six in the morning. Milligrams per kilogram. Conversion charts. Footnotes on the footnotes. Doc has watched capable people stand in their own aisle with a scoop in hand doing math and quietly hoping they got it right.

You should not need a PhD in pharmacy to deworm a pig.

So he got on the phone with the regulators. Round after round, pushing for plain language, until what is printed on that bag says exactly what it needs to say in words a kid can follow without calling an adult over.

One scoop per 50 lb. Once a day. Three days.

Pigs eat it, so they get the whole dose

No syringes. No injections. No loose powder to measure.

It is a palatable meal that goes on his ration, and pigs do not sort around it. They do not leave the good part in the corner and the medicine in the middle. They clean it up, which means they take the full dose.

A dose he did not finish is not a dose.

One bag deworms three show pigs for the whole feeding period

On that six week schedule, with the dose scaling up as they grow.

So if you are running three pigs or fewer, buy the one bag. That is the whole season. We would rather tell you that than sell you a second bag you are going to be storing in the feed room next spring.

If you are running more than three, the bag treats 40 pigs at 50 lb, or eight pigs at 250 lb, and you can work from there.

There is no withdrawal period

Clean Sweep can be fed right up to harvest. There is no pre-slaughter withdrawal, which is stated plainly on the label.

That matters more than it sounds. On a lot of products the calendar decides whether you are allowed to treat. Here it does not. If you find yourself close to a show and realize he has not been done in a while, there is no date that took the decision away from you.

Exhibition swine

Clean Sweep is a medicated premix for individual feeding of exhibition swine. The label covers growing pigs, gilts, pregnant sows and boars, so a gilt project or a sow in the barn is covered too.

What customers say

Verbatim from the review tab on this page.

Doc will make it right.

If you are not satisfied, let us know. You will not have to ship anything back.

That is the whole policy.

The craft stays yours

Clean Sweep does not feed him for you and it does not drive him. It makes sure the feed you are already buying goes to your pig instead of to something that got there first.
