tot y veterinarians found that
sows exposed to hog cholera
virus dining piogniiiiey may
liansnul the vans to their un
born pigs without showing evi
dence of illness themselves The
pigs thus cairy the virus when
bom, may become ill them
selves, and may liansmit the
disease to other susceptible
hogs
Signs of hog cholera trans
mitted to baby pigs in this man
mcr vaiy widely So faimeis
should be alert for a number of
cliffeient conditions.
In the mildest form, the only
symptom of hog cholera appai •
ent at first may be nothing
more than pigs in a litter that
do poorly Or theie may be lit
ters where one or two pigs cue
before weaimng foi no apparent
leason.
Other symptoms include weak
or stillborn pigs, “shakei” pigs,
and aboitions Often these
symptoms aie overlooked and
hog cholera is not discoveied
until the pigs are put undo
stress.
Stress may be caused by such
things as weaning, castration,
parasitism, disease, chilling, or
movement to market. With
stress, the disease emerges,
either in the pigs themselves or
in susceptible pigs which they
contact.
ARS animal health officials
point out that other diseases
have some of these same signs
So a farmer should call his
veterinanan at once to find out
what the disease problem is and
rule out the possibility of hog
cholera
Often, laboratory assistance is
needed in order to distinguish
hog cholera from other baby pig
diseases In other words, a farm
er’s motto should be, “Suspect
Cholera First.”
The officials note that trans
mission of hog cholera through
the pregnant sow the “preg
nant sow syndrome” is most
apt to occur (1) in areas where
outbreaks of hog cholera have
occurred in the past few months
and (2) in herds where preg
nant sows have contacted ani
mals vaccinated with modified
live virus vaccine In the latter
instance, this is particularly
true of contact with freshly vac
cinated animals
Interstate shipment of these
vaccines was prohibited last
July as a part of the nationwide
effort to wipe out hog cholera
Cooperative State-Federal in
demnities for hogs destioyed
because of hog cholera are
of Pig Cholera
available in all bill three States that die before the an ival of a
- Arizona, Maine, and New Stale or Federal veterinarian.
York So this is another Rood icason
The animal hcaltn officials for farmers to p.ompliy repo.t
point out however, that indem- any sickness in pigs just in
nitics cannot be paid on pigs case it might be hog cholera.
