there is nothing organic which will help. They MUST be treated ASAP or you leave yourself open to prosecution by the RSPCA. Get the vet to prescribe ivermectin. You need to look at why they are getting mange. Is there an immune system problem or stress? Are they living in dirty damp conditions? Pig mange can lead to other serious problems like inner ear infections and meningitis. I would be most suprised if you are not having some mortalities. I would expect 20% at least.
Don't much about, get proper veterinary treatment.
