Thread: Anyone seen this?

Little yellow pussy things in wild boar meat. Some kind of tapeworm? Sure the answer is probably just to biff it just seems a shame

Take it too a vet and get it diagnosed.

The person you really want is a meat works inspector, failing that MPI will help you, might need more info.
Cheers

From what I could find on Google I think it's tapeworm, the flesh bound ones are apparently short and yellow just like these. Made the call not to eat it anyway!

Another day another decent sized boar. Brown lumps under skin, fat lumps of some sort or something nastier? They're reasonably firm. Not particularly keen to have to bury another one! Apologies for the shit pic

Ew

you do like giving us a challenge I must have cut up a few hundred porkys but aint never seen that keep us posted

That looks like what the first one had, haven't actually cut into the flesh of this one other than in my half arsed skinning job, the lumps were between the skin and the flesh, close to the neck so I was basically done before I noticed them. Will have a better look inside the flesh tomorrow but will probably just biff it again

I would get advice from a vet I dont believe its sheep measles- this is a-wild pig - sheep measles is dog and sheep not wild pigs - I think we would all like an experts opinion

Don't forget Pigs are a tb vector

@charliehorse.

Yeah I'm certain that's what the first one had, yet to see if this one has the same yellowy things in the flesh or not. Think I'll just bury this one too anyway, have found someone I can send some pics to tomorrow will report back with what they reckon
