Any body feed their dogs hog?

[merlecore]

i really like seeing so many people doing this, cooked or uncooked it seems to be the way to go, anybody have a bad experience feeding hogs to dogs? i sure hope not! it would be interesting to see how it fits the dogs nutritional needs, some guys/ladys mix other things in, some don't, thanks everyone, responses are always appreciated

I can't say that this is true, but I've heard that hogs have Trichinosis. A tiny worm that bores through the muscle, and eventually breaking down the dogs body. Cooking the meat well will kill the Trichinosis. I would never feed my hounds raw hog meat.

Here is a cut out from the internet:

Trichinosis (also termed trichinellosis, trichiniasis, or trichinelliasis) is a disease caused by parasites, called roundworms (Trichinella spp.), that can infect and damage many body tissues. Although the parasites can pass through the intestinal tract and other tissues, muscle tissues are where the majority of them persist. Trichinosis is usually characterized by two phases; the initial phase (intestinal) of abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and nausea that begins one to two days after ingestion and the second phase (muscle) of muscle aches, itching, fever, chills, and joint pains that begins about two to eight weeks after ingestion.

In Europe this Trichinosis is true. Nasty little F*cker and i couldn't even think to feed my dogs with raw pig or bear meat. If i remember right it wont die even in freezer and the only way is to cook the meat well.
