SKIN DISEASES IN HOGS.
A. j. N, Jesup, Ga, writes: send you
piece of skin taken from one of my
pigs that / have just butchered. There
were several with similar skin diseases,
but all affected were of the same litter
of pigs The sire and dam of this litter
were brother and sister. Did this condi-
ton make these pigs an easy prey to such
skin diseases. These pigs seemed to fat
ten and do as we'll in every way as any
of my herd. Will this disease of the skin
render them unfit for use?
The piece of skin you sent was from
hog affected with what is known as
microbian skin disease. 1t is due to a
micrococcus in the epidermis or cutler lay
er of the skin. 1t is purely local con-
dition and the meat is fit for use though
it might be we'll to skin the shoulders
and other affected parts. In-breeding,
while it will cause no specific disease
| of the nature of this condition, has a ten
dency to weaken the resistance of the
pigs so that they would more easily fall
victims to any infection they might be
brought in contact with. The treatment
would consist in washing the skin with
a good pure soap and warm water and
| applying q non-poisonous disinfectant,
such as creolin, zenoleum properly di-
luted.
