Feral hogs (Sus scrofa) are the most prolific large mammal in
the United States. Sows produce approximately 1.5 litters per
year with 5-6 offspring per litter. They cause significant
damage to crops and are known to carry pseudorabies and
brucellosis. Feral hogs pose a threat to the commercical swine
industry as well as to human health. Wild appearing hogs being
tranported in to Tennessee are subject to certain requirements.
