Session 3: OUTLINE

3.1. Session objectives To explain to farmers the different parasite control strategiesTo demonstrate washing and spraying techniques in the control of parasites

3.2. MaterialsArrange the stations for the practical training as follows: 1st station a room or pig sty with live animals 2 grower pigs for Spraying and washing equipment( scrubbing brushes, soap, water)2nd station To demonstrate the safe handling of drugs: Drug safety; drug residues in the food chain , protective gear (gloves, gum boots, overalls, goggles), drenching equipment3rd Station: Poster on pig tape worm and control

Training aids: Training Aid 4:1: pig sty with live animals piglets and 2 grower pigs for demonstrating washing and spraying , spraying equipment, washing equipment(scrubbing brushes, soap, water )Training Aid 4.2: Handling drugs: Drug safety; include protective gear (gloves, gum boots, overalls goggles), drenching equipment, syringesTraining Aid 4.3: Poster on tape worm control

3.3.1. Preventive measureGive recommendations on how the parasites are eliminated using hygiene preventive measuresGood nutrition of the pig to mount an immune response and maintain performance in the presence of parasites. Proper cleaning of Indoor facilities Minimize traffic to control spread of round worms and whip worms which have transmissible eggs. Keep gilts away from contaminated lotsKeep weaned pigs away from older breeding stock.

Change sites away from contaminated areas (roundworm and whipworm eggs persist for long periods)Proper disposal of animal manureHousing to avoid ingestion of earthworms which are intermediate hosts of kidney worm and lungworm larvae Proper management of pregnant and suckling sows since Strongyloides may be passed in colostrum,(Treatment with Ivermectin 7 days before farrowing)Treatment to prevent transfer of parasites when dry lots, pastures and wooded areas are used for pig production

Control of parasites of pigsThe deworming schedule one or more deworming in weanling and growing pigs.Boars: every 6 monthsSows: 2 weeks before farrowing and after weaningPiglets: 1week after weaningFatteners: 1 week after weaning and 3 months latterGilts :1 week after weaning, 3 months and at 7months of age at least 2 weeks before service  There are formulations for group administration and those for individual treatment. Use only label-approved drugs for label-approved routes of administration Arrange with veterinarian for specific strategic schedules

3.4. Practical demonstrationDivide the participants randomly into 3 groups (maximum 8 members per group Each participant moves to each station and carries out the activities mentioned Washing and spraying techniquesDrug safety Poster on tape worm controlTime: 40 minutes

3.4. Practical demonstrationDrug safety : emphasize the withdrawal period

3.5.Discussion and analysisThe farmers should be able to carry out the activitiesLet the farmers share their experience during the practical session

3.6. Closure: Give a summary of the training module. This module is developed to equip pig farmers with knowledge and skills to control parasites effectively so that small holder pig production enterprise becomes a competitive venture. The participants should have learnt the internal and external parasites that affect pigs, how they move from one /within the pig, the harm they do and how parasites can be eliminated or minimized. It is envisaged that the knowledge and skills gained will foster commitment by farmers to control the parasites effectivelyThank the farmers for their active participation and request them to implement what they have learnt to better their pig enterprises. The training should be closed officially 

When all is done as has been taught, we shall have a healthy and happy pig
