This is true - assuming the only things the hogs were eating was the
slops.  Having worked on a hog farm in college, I have seen hogs eating
anything and everything they could get into their mouths (not to exclude
mice, excrement, vomit (from another hog), rocks, bugs, dirt clods, mouse
nests, paper, unidentifiable dead things, etc).  It would not at all
surprise me if soem hogs are indeed infected with trichinosis, but I doubt
the infection rate is very high.
