ABORTION IN SWINE
MAY BE CONTROLLED

Ihe following suggestions for the
management of a herd of swine in
which infectious abortion has broken
ou, are based upon practical expert
ence. BY putting them into practice
1t Is believed the disease may be
brought under control in the shortest
possible time, according to the Wis
consin College of Agriculture.
l. Remove aborting sows at once
from contact with other sows and
gifts.
.. Collect and burn aborted pigs nf-
terbirths and all contaminated feed
and litter
3. Find ont whether the abortions
were caused by abortion germs by
having blood samples tested to detect
evidence nf the disease
4. Consider the herd infected II any
OF the blood samples are found to re-
act 10 the test for abortion.
s. Divide the non-reacting sows Into
as small groups us possible.
G. Disinfect the hog houses by thor
oughly saturating the floor, walls and
troughs with coal-tar disinfectant
prepared and applied according to di'
rections Of the manufacturer of the
Product
Z. Sell for slaughter grade sows
which abort ms soon as their condi
tion will permit, as such animals will
scarcely pay for the trouble of treat
Tcnt.
8. Postpone breeding sows that have
aborted until they have passed at least
two heat periods.
.. Keep a special boar for the abort
ing and infected sows. This. of course
Is impractical except in large herds.
10. Provide Glenn boar for all sows
that show no evidence of Infection.
II. Ask your veterinarian to secure
vaccine from the college of agricul
fure TO vaccinate MI open sows anc
ailts that have not aborted. in order tt
prevent them from contracting the dis
ease.

Importance of Boar

1t is important to keep in mind the
fact that the boar is just as impor-
tant as the SOW, for the brood SOW
can only farrow certain number of
pigs during year. or life, while the
boar will probably sire hundreds. Es-
pecially is this true in large herd,
and the condition in which the boar
is kept. especially during the breeding
season, will have a very important
bearing on any breeders success in
the production Of pork or breeding
wine.

Ventilation for Hogs

The average hog house has doors
along the side and cupola at the
:op which is supposed to take care of
any necessary ventilation. Cold air
coming in at the doors strikes the
hogs direct and continues to pass over
them In current frow door to VEN
tilator. When the doors are shut
there Is no intake Of fresh air, steam
on the feed floor they very easily take
