Does anyone know if young weaners (from 9 weeks) get bitten by mosquitos, or if they bother them at all? In one of the woodland areas we use the mosquitos are absolutely dreadful this year, probably due to the recent hot weather plus overfull ponds and puddles from the previous weeks of torrential rain. Its like a plague of locusts, billions of these quite large things stinging us humans mercilessly. At the same time I think I remember reading somewhere that pigs would be immune from that dreadful mosquito-transmitted sheep disease (Schallenberg's?) because they did not get bitten. I am presuming the older sows would be immune anyway as their skin is so tough and thick, well at least extremely difficult to inject with any sort of medication when you want to. I am wondering whether I should keep the young pigs out of the woods until colder weather arrives, even though this year cold/hot wet/dry could happen any time at all. Would appreciate any advice - Tamsaddle
