Cholera la causing heavy losses again. The only safe pig is the one Out's vaccinated in advance.
The present all-out effort to eradicate cholera is being sponsored by government agencies, livestock groups, veterinary groups and affiliated organize tions and was sparked by a new wave of this fast-killing disease. Not enough herds have been vaccinated in recent years, and cholera has now been making a strong comeback. Since there is no cure for this disease, the only safe hog is one that has been immunized in advance of an outbreak.
Proper vaccination is the key to solid immunity. Vaccination should be done by a veterinarian, after he has checked the herd and made sure the animals are in proper condition to develop immunity, and after he has chosen the right type of vaccine to fit the circumstances and local conditions.
Farmers should be familiar with the symptoms of hog cholera, so if suspicious signs appear an immediate diagnosis can be obtained and perhaps an area-wide outbreak prevented.
Among the recommended steps is the present drive against the nation’s No. 1 hog killer are: 1. Have all pigs vaccinated. 2. Don’t bring in replacement pigs that have not been vaccinated.
3. Isolate replacement pigs for 10 to 30 days. 4. Avoid all contact with cholera-infected herds and keep visitors out of hog lots. 5. Do not feed raw garbage or buy replacement stock from garbage fed herds. 6. If signs of hog cholera appear; call a veterinarian at once.
