Under the intensive '''indoor''' husbandry systems practiced in the UK, worms affect the health and productivity of growing pigs to a considerably lesser extent than is the case with ruminants or horses. Even so, if there are any in adequacies in buildings, nutrition or management that cause stres or enable eggs and larvae to accumulate, worm infections can increase the food conversion ratio and/or days to slaughter.
