Cholera is Most Serious
to Hog Industry

One of the most serious obstacles
to the success of the hog industry in
Kentucky is hog cholera, according
to the veterinary department of the
College Of Agriculture which has just
issued a circular on the prevention
and control of the disease in order
to help farmers combat it. Hog chol-
era is more or less prevalent at all
times being an infectious and a very
highly contagious disease with high
death rate. 1t spreads rapidly from
animal to animal in the herd and
from farm to farm in communities.
It is caused by filterable virus,
which is present in the discharges of
sick animals. Control and prevent
i've measures to be used in fighting
the-disease are summarized as fol-
lows by the circular:
"Any pig showing evidence Of i'll
health should be separated from the
remainder Of the herd and closely
observed for developments of the
disease. Depression, loss of appe-
tite and high temperature are al
ways suggestive of hog cholera. If a
hog dies a post mortem should be
held and the organs carefully ex-
amined for the Indications of chol-
era. 1t often happens that when chol-
era infection occurs in a healthy
herd, one individual will sicken and
die some days before the herd as
whole shows signs of sickness.
Therefore it is important to know
the cause of death Of the first pig
that dies.
'Burn or bury deeply all pigs that
die, regardless of the cause of their
DEATH
"All pigs purchased and brought
to the farm should be kept under
close observation in separate quar-
ters for at least three weeks.
"To prevent hog cholera clean the
hog house of all litter and dirt,
spray with an antiseptic and apply |
whitewash and paint. Rake up and
remove or burn all waste and rub
bish in and about the pens and the
wards. Use air. Stacked lime freely in
the yards adjacent to the hog house
and from time to time where the
pigs are fed"
A number of other preventive
are given in the circular,
which states that the only agent
which is a preventive for the dis
ease is anti-hog- cholera serum. The
circular outlines the method of vac
cination and it's uses. The publica-
ton is No. 102 and is entitled "The
and Control of Hog Chol-
era" 1t may be obtained free by
