Hallouell urges spectators - exhibitors contact
Livestock men confront Hallo well
monies be appropriated for a
new building.
“Hallowell pointed out
that legislators are
sometimes not aware of the
needs of agriculture,
especially those from urban
area, so they need to be
contacted and informed of
the need for improvements
at the Farm Show,” Darcey
said.
Both the Secretary and the
livestock people were aware
of the vast number of
spectators who visited the
Farm Show this year. But,
no one could come up with
the actual number of people
who walked through the
complex. .
In their meeting, theidea^ —
of possibly charging a
nominal admission fee was
exchanged.
The livestock reps felt this
might be one method of
knowing exactly how many
people visit the show. They
did not suggest this ad
mission fee for the purpose
of making nioney, noted
Darcey.
They also suggested to the
Secretary that a nominal fee
charged at the door would
eliminate the traffic jams
created by the $1 parking fee
collected in the parking lot.
The possibility of ex
tending the Farm Show to a
two week show was also
discussed.
The livestock people
pointed out this would allow
the spectators more time to
see the show, would allow
mote entries per exhibitor,
and would eliminate the
crowded show schedules.
Secretary Hallowell noted
that some of the commercial
exhibitors, also mentioned
this possibility. He said there
were so many spectators
that salesmen had to fight
crowds to talk to potential
clients, noted Darcey.
The cattlemen requested
new tie outs for next year’s
show, along with a security
light.
“There were instances this
past show where cattle were
turned loose during the night
FORT WAYNE, Ind. -
With more producers tur
ning toward larger, total
confinement units, hog
mange is an increasing
problem. Without a routine
spraying program, mange
can rob producers of weight
gains and cause increased
scours problems.
Sarcoptic hog mange, the
most common type of mange
in the U.S., is caused by
parasitic mites which
burrow deep into the skin,
according to Dr. John
Hottell, Master Mix swine
veterinarian.
“Early signs of sarcoptic
mange mite infection
usually begin over the face,
around the ears, or in other
places where the skin is
tender and the hair is thin,”
Hottell says.
Within six weeks, the
lesions can spread and
multiply over the neck,
shoulders, body and legs
until the entire body is in
volved. In older pigs, the
first signs may appear
around the ears, tail, and
between the front and hind
legs.
The irritation and itching
caused by hog mange causes
the animals to rub and
scratch vigorously, resulting
in skin inflammation and
restlessness. Producers with
mange m their herds suffer
losses from poorer growth
rates and higher incidences
of scours.
“Sarcoptic hog mange is a
widespread problem
wherever swine are raised.
Naturally, it is more

stated. “The security light
would allow security
guards to keep a better
watch on the cattle tie-out
area.”
The livestock reps also
pointed out to the Secretary
that they felt the trucks
which stayed at the Farm
Show from Saturday until
Friday should be parked
away from the buildings, in a
designated area.
“This would eliminate
some of the congestion in the
parking lots next to the

swine numbers are the
greatest,” Hottell says.
Twenty-one percent of 1000
carcasses examined in a
Nebraska slaughter house
revealed varying degrees of

festation,he adds.
“Pigs of all ages and
conditions are susceptible to
sarcoptic mange, but usually
the disease Is less severe and
spreads less rapidly in well
fed, well-kept rigorous
animals than in weak or

To prevent hog mange, the

“As beef exhibitors we
also mentioned the poor

barns, with outlets hanging
from the ceilings where

Pa.PHA president recalled.
“And we told Secretary

Sprays which combine
lindane and toxopbene, have
been shown to be the most
effective in eradicating the
mites.
When spraying, special
attention should be given to
the inside of thenars, as well

recommends the sow herd
be sprayed every two weeks
from the time of breeding
until 30 days before
farrowing.
Again, the spray should be
directed inside the ears, in
addition to the rest of the
body.
Hottell suggests producers
consider using a dipping vat
similar to those used for
sheep. Since there are no hog'
dipping vats available
commercially, some
producers have built their
own.
With all insecticide

Circulation can also be
improved voluntarily for
short periods of time by
exercise. Swinging the arms
and stomping the feet can
warm cold toes. Running a
bit can warm the whole
body, but overdoing it to
sweating will make one
colder in the long run.
Shivering is nature’s way of
making a person run without
going anywhere he wants to
