Wild boar

Might be a stupid question but I'll ask it anyway . I've read on here to not feed ferrets pork because of salt content.  Would it be the same for wild boar meat?

I think people get confused with bacon which obviously has a massive salt content. Pork is fine especially if its farm fresh but only feed enough for them to clear-up quickly and don't let them store it in the nest box for too long because pork has a reputation for going "off" quickly. I would avoid supermarket pork for this reason as it may not be very fresh.

       One thing to be careful of when handling raw boar meat  is trichinosis . I guess it can infect ferrets just as it infects other animals including humans!
