In addition. Dr. Forney advises faimcrs to use strict and proper sanitation piocedmes at all times Particular concern should be taken with sanitizing visitors, he said. Dr. Forney warns that in some aieas outside Pennsylvania wheie the cholera has been prevalent, some hogs have become earners ot the disease This means that while the animals themselves won’t die oi appeal to have choleia. they will infect other hogs with which they come into contact He also noted that hog cholera does not appeal to be as lethal as it was 20 years ago and it’s now possible that a hog will cairy the disease foi as much as 45 days before it breaks out oi becomes evident Dr Foi ney said this may have been what happened in the Ches ter County situation The farmei may have bought what appeared to be healthy hogs, but they car ned the disease, which either bioke out aftei a peiiod of time or infected othei healthy ani mals If any hog buyei has any ques tion about infected states, infor mation on where the problems occur can be obtained by calling Dr Foi ney at Hamsburg 787- 5333 Asked if the Chester County outbreak can be contained, Dr Forney said spi ead of the disease is as “neaily nil as can be ” Besides slaughtei and burial of the exposed hogs and the faim and aiea quaiantme, Di.
