Rickets. Try and prevent this by adding pea or 

 bean meal to the cereal grains being fed. Bone meal 

 may also be added to the ration. The pigs should be 

 allowed to sleep on a wood floor. 



Salt-poisoning. Salt or brine should not, as a 

 rule, be fed to pigs, more especially when they are 

 receiving sharps that are slightly acid, or fatal results 

 may follow through salt-poisoning. Poultry are even 

 more easily poisoned with salt than pigs.
