Old Spot/Berkshire feeder pigs

[RedemptionFarm]

We got our sweet little pigs, but today I found they haven't been dewormed. I had already planned on using DE, garlic and rosemary for preventative measures. But I am wondering if these things will cure a current outbreak? Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about this?

Your very best bet is to take a fecal sample to the vet to find out what kind of worms the pigs have and what the most effective remedy is. The second best option is to go to the feed store or livestock supply and get a wormer there. There are any number of safe, effective, and inexpensive wormers available. You shouldn't have any trouble finding one. To take care of the worms you need something that will actually work. DE, garlic, and rosemary are not what you need. They won't hurt, but they won't be very effective in getting rid of the worms either.
