These reports show that the county
agents inoculated. in the year ending
June 80. 1914, a total of 1886 hogs
that were in good health at the time.
but were exposed TO the disease. OF
/ this number only 7S7 died This loss
/ OF 2.2z per cent is regarded as highly
gratifying evidence of the value of the
preventive treatment with anti-hog
cholera serum.
Although many authorities do not
recommend this treatment after The
hog is so sick that signs of the disease
are plainly visible. the agents in many
cases took a fighting chance" The
results would seem. on the whole, to
have been very satisfactory. Including
sick and well animals, a grand total
/ OF II ,974 hogs exposed to the disease
received the serum. OF these, 1904
died, a percentage of loss of 7.15.
In considering these figures, scient-
lists point out that the work was done
under ordinary farm conditions, and
no: by trained experts in laboratories.
In addition, a very large number of
hogs were inoculated by veterinarians
VI ~ AdA III
cases no figures are available To show
the exact results of the treatment.
Department experts also point out,
however, That incubation alone is not
sufa cient and does not remove the
necessity for sanitary and other pre-
cautions; for example, hogs should be
fed for a few days after the treatment
on cooling laxative foods. They should
be removed to uninfected and clean
pens. where there is plenty of shade.
and care should be taken to free them
from lice and worms. Since many
hogs are worm-infested. the following
formula, which has been used by local
agents throughout the south with con-
siderable success, is suggested by the
Kentucky experiment station:
Areca nut .--.---.l dram
CalOmel -------- i gram
Sodium carbonate ......1 dram
This is a sufficient quantity for each
100 pounds of live weight. The dose
should be given IN slop in the even
ing, after the hogs have been without
foor for from IL 10 "a hours. The fol-
lowing morning each hog should re-
ceive tablespoonful of EPSON salts.
