Nebraska Loses Hog
Cholera-Free Status
Nebraska’s third hog cholera
case within two months has
caused that state to lose hog
cholera-free status, the USDA
reports.
Veterinarians with USDA’s
Animal and Plant Health In
spection Service (APHIS) said
hog cholera had been diagnosed
in Adams County, Neb., swine
herds on June 10, July 13 and
State’s ‘72 Turkey
Flock Biggest Ever
Indications are that 2,879,000
turkeys will be raised in Penn
sylvania this year; 5 percent
more than the previous record
setting flock of 1971 and 27 per
cent more than the 1970 flock. If
indications materialize this
would be the largest flock since
records began in 1929.
Broken down, it is estimated
that 2,480,000 heavy breeds will
be raised - 8 percent more than
last year, and 30 percent more
than 1970; making this the
highest on record since the
estimating by breed program
began in 1954.
Light breeds make up the
balance of 399,000 birds; 13
percent below last year, but 13
percent above the 1970 crop.
Turkeys raised nationally in
1972 are expected to total 128.4
million birds, 7 percent above
1971. Minnesota, the leading State
in 1972, expects to raise 20.7
million birds compared with 18.4
million a year ago, an increase of
12 percent. California expects to
raise 4 percent more turkeys
while North Carolina expects to
raise 22 percent more than last
year.
Heavy breed turkeys raised in
1972 are expected to total 113.8
million compared with 106.6
million in 1971, an increase of 7
percent. Light breed turkeys
raised during 1972 are estimated
at 14.6 million, a 9 percent in
crease from the 13.4 million
produced a year earlier.

Aug. 3. These herds and one other
that was exposed to the infection
were destroyed. Indemnities
were paid to the owners and
quarantines placed on the
surrounding area.
APHIS officials said Nebraska
lost hog cholera-free status
because the disease spread
within the state in spite of prompt
elimination of the primary
Turkey poults hatched during
the period September 1971
through July 1972 are 8 percent
above the corresponding period a
year ago. Compared with the
previous period, increases oc
curred in all months except
December 1971 and January 1972.
Turkey eggs in incubators August
1, 1972 were up 21 percent from
last year.

outbreaks, which originated in
hogs shipped in from another
State.
Under the standards of the
Cooperative State-Federal Hog
Cholera Eradication Program,
states lose “free” status unless
primary hog cholera outbreaks
are eliminated promptly without
further spread. Prior to today’s
action 46 States were hog cholera
free.
State and federal officials
currently are surveying all swine
herds in the area of the recent
outbreaks to locate any other
herds that may have been ex
posed to the disease. Surveillance
will be maintained for a
minimum of 30 days following the
most recent case. If no further
cases occur Nebraska will regain
“free” status in six months.
APHIS officials are also con
cerned about recent cases in
other states. Within the past two
months, hog cholera has been
discovered in Florida, Kentucky,
Nebraska, New Jersey, North
Carolina, and Texas, indicating
that the virus is present either in
raw pork or is being spread
through movements of swine or
contaminated vehicles.
Federal quarantine against hog
cholera are now in effect in all or
parts of 15 counties in six states.
To date this year, 71 hog cholera
cases have been reported in the
United States, compared with 106
cases for the same period a year
ago.
