HOG CHOLERA

Cholera among hogs probably
causes greater loss than any other
disease 1t makes its appearance so
suddenly that the rancher is unable
to check its spread.
Hog cholera is caused by a
specific organism and is easily
transmitted through drinking water
food, and litter. In about a week
or ten days, or even less time, after
healthy hogs have been exposed to
the disease, they show the first
symptoms. 1t usually attacks the
intestines but may also implicate
the lungs. The first symptoms no.
ticed are that the pig is OF its feed,
coughs, has a watery, green diarr-
hoea and has an inclination 70
remain in recumbent position.
From time u time the affected hog
may have spasms, the attack lasting
half minute or longer. After the
spasms begin only a few hours re-
main before the animal is dead.
The prevention Of hog cholera is
highly important, as the very con-
tagious nature of the disease will
warrant the taking of every precau-
tion against it. First OF all, avoid
placing newly purchased animals In
the pens with the healthy stock, fol
at least a month. Do not allow
healthy stock to use the driking
