My pig is pregnant should I worm her know? Should I do anything else before she delivers?

Since no one else answered I give it a try. In "Small-Scale Pig Raising" by Dirk van Loon he states "Sows should be wormed prior to breeding or toward the latter stages of pregnancy."

SMALL-SCALE PIGE RAISING, Dirk van Loon, Garden Way Publishing, Charlotte, VT, 1975 page 172.

I would be very interested in the outcome of anyone who has had experience at worming a pregnant sow. My three hogs are now freezer pigs, I get more in the fall.
