Our 3 year old Saddleback sow is looking like it's the mid summer moult - lots of hair falling out, particularly from midway to the back end, and rather more clumpy than is usual in the summer when all the hair disappears for a time. Never had this before in the winter, does anyone have any ideas what could be the problem? She is up to date with all her Noromectin injections, the last 6 monthly one administered about a month ago, and she also gets a 6 monthly booster erisypelas jab when required. There are absolutely no signs on her skin of external parasites or any marks or spots, and she is eating and behaving completely normally in every other respect. She lives outside all year and has ample access to mud. The other two sows who share her ark have perfectly normal thick coats. I am wondering whether it could be connected to be being dry (deliberately) for several months, even though she is cycling regularly at 3 week intervals. She weaned her last litter at the end of May, and she will be inseminated again in December or January for an April litter (hopefully). Would appreciate any thoughts or ideas anyone might have - Tamsaddle
