Deworming Pigs

[peaceeandlovee]

Hello,
We have 6 pigs ready to be slaughtered in 3 weeks, we have had to deworm the pigs the past 2 months. I am curious if we should deworm them again or if it's best not to before freezer camp. I have not seen any visible worms recently. Thanks in advance.

Depends on the medicine. I know with Ivomec, it says not to slaughter for 4weeks after dosage is injected into pigs.

If they aren't showing any symptoms there's no need to worm them
This close to slaughter it won't matter

I de-wormed a few weeks ago and I think the stupid pig looked like it had one in it's mouth...couldn't get to it in time and whatever it was, was gone. Anyone know how long after de-worming can you butcher? I thank you in advance.
