Intestinal Disease Hits
Numerous Swine Herds

Thousands of pigs in major swine
producing states have been stricken
with an intestinal disease regarded
as the most serious of its kind ever
seen in the us.
The American veterinary medical
association reported that transmits
sible gastroenteritis has wiped out
the entire pig crop on some farms.
No swine-raising farm can consider
itself completely safe from the dis
ease, the AVMA warned.
Symptoms are severe securing,
vomiting, and dehydration There
is rapid loss of flesh in spite of the
fact that affected pigs continue to
nurse until they die.
At present, no drug can be recon-
mended as standard treatment for
this infection. Only possible means
of cont. oil is to keep healthy breed
