Symptoms of Hog Cholera
Explained by
Hog cholera is a virus disease
of swine. It does not infect
humans The virus spreads by
direct or indirect contact, says
County Agent M.M Smith.
Hog cholera can be introduced
nto a herd by water, feed,
equipment or on the clothing of
people who have just come from
an infected premise The two
most common ways cholera
spreads are: by the introduction
of normal-appearing swine from
an infected herd, or by the
feeding of uncooked garbage
containing virus-infected pork,
explains Smith.
Hogs typically show symptoms
from 3 to 8 days following direct
exposure to the disease, but in
directly exposed herds may not
show symptoms for as long as
three weeks. Early symptoms
are hstlessness, lack of appetite
“Few people are fast
enough to keep up with their
good intentions.” —Herman
Gross, Tri-County (Mo.)

and high fever, (temperatures of
104 to 108 degrees). Pigs usually
pile up and are reluctant to move.
They often show con
stipation at first followed by
diarrhea and weakness in their
hindquarters. In acute cases
swine may die overnight, but
more chronic cases may last as
long as three weeks. A few may
survive, but they are usually
hopeless runts.
Those who have purchased
swine in the past month should
look them over carefully at least
three times a day. If any show
early symptoms, call a
veterinarian or the nearest
Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture Regional Office.
Those who feed any garbage
should be sure that it is
thoroughly cooked All swine
producers should keep their
swine isolated from any outside
contacts until the danger is past
