Hog Cholera
Information
Is Released
County Agent M. M. Smith
this week released recommenda
tions for control of Hog Cholera,
to Lancaster county swine pro
ducers. In giving the recommen
dation, Smith said, “Since this
is a dreaded disease in one of
our leading livestock enterpris
es, we urge all producers to co
operate with the recommenda
tions. Complete eradication of
this disease from all of our
swine herds throughout the
country is the objective and may
be attained with everyone’s sup
port.”
The hog cholera situation in
Pennsylvania, according to the
report, is in Phase IH of the Na
tional Hog Cholera Eradication
Program. In Phase m, hog
cholera outbreaks are reported
and quarantined with depopula
tion of all swine in infected
herds and indemnity, and clean
ing and disinfecting of the prem
ises.
The recommendations are as
follows:
1. Herds where modified live
virus vaccine and serum has
been used:
Discontinue vaccination, or
vaccinate with “killed” (inac
tivated) virus vaccines. Pigs
should be vaccinated at not less
than 8 weeks of age and given a
second dose of the vaccine at
least two weeks later. Pigs to
be sold or exhibited at sales or
fairs should be vaccinated at
least 30 days before they leave
the farm. Maternal antibodies
from MLV vaccinated sows
make it impossible to establish
long term immunity when pigs
are vaccinated under eight
weeks of age.
2. Herds where “killed” (in
activated) virus vaccines have
been used:
Discontinue vaccination, or
continue to use killed virus vac
cine. Baby pigs may be given
the first dose of vaccine in these
herds at 4 to 5 weeks of age and
the second dose at least two
weeks later.
3. Herds where no vaccine has
been used:
Continue as before, or use the
killed virus vaccination program
outlined above.
Where no vaccination program
is used, it is suggested that pigs
to be sold or exhibited be given
a prophylactic dose of antiserum
or antibody concentrate on the
day they leave the farm, but in
any event no longer than 5 days
before they enter the sale or
show.
All new pigs brought onto
swine farms should be isolated
(kept at least 50 feet from phy
sical contact) from swine on the
farm for at least 30 days. New
swine should receive a prophy
lactic dose of antiserum or anti
body concentrate within 5 days
of their entry to the farm.
All sick pigs should be re
ported to your veterinarian, and
he should examine them. The
Pennsylvania Department of Ag
riculture cannot pay indemnity
for dead swine It is therefore,
important that outbreaks of hog
cholera be reported immediate
ly to protect swine owners from
unnecessary loss.
KEEP TREE SEEDLINGS WET
Tree seedlings must be kept
moist from the time they leave
the nursery until they are plant
ed, says Edward P. Farrand,
extension forester at Penn State
University. A good root system
is needed for successful plant
ing. If the roots dry out rapid
ly, they will be 1 injured.

cancer is to contribute to the
