Representative livestock markets, hogs are again profitable. Beyond good housing and proper nutrition, a sound health care program is one of the best ways to insure profitability. Here are some health tips from the experts at the Animal Health Institute, Alexandria, Va.„. Breeding stock Work with your veterinarian to develop a health care plan. Commit it to paper and follow it closely. A series of vaccinations before and during pregnancy may be required to prevent the following diseases: leptospirosis, erysipelas. Type C clostridial enteritis, TGE, and atrophic rhinitis, among others. Federally licensed vaccines conform to rigorous government standards. Look for the U.S. Veterinary license number on the product That’s your assurance that these products have been thoroughly tested. Keep records on the types of products you use, the manufacturer, the serial numbers, and the expiration dates. When more than me biological product is to be administered, do not mix the two substances unless grinuUr msfCi'C'Je 215-865-5795 specified on the label. The two biologicals can become con taminated when mixed and may not provide the desired immunity. Never dilute a biological product unless specifically called for on the label. And never mix a biological with an antibiotic. A series of vaccines is also called for during the first few days of a baby pig’s life. These vaccines protect against pseudorabies (in states where pseudorabies vaccine is legal), atrophic rhinitis, and pneumonia, among others. During the high stress period of weaning, pigs are again vac cinated for disease; antibiotics are added to the feed to prevent disease as well. Later, wormers will be added. To insure safe, efficient use of these and other drugs, the Animal Health Institute advises: Feed or administer the' right dote. Whether it’s a vaccine, warmer, or feed additive, it’s important to provide the right amount.

The old adage “if a little bit is good, then a whole lot more is better" does not apply to animal drugs. By the same token, it is a mistake to underdose. A hog requires a precise amount of a drug’s active substance in its system to do the job. For feeders, observe withdrawal times if required before shipping. Whether administering an animal drug via feed, water, bolus, or injection, be certain to observe the withdrawal period before sending the animal to market. If you don’t, an illegal residue could appear. That can cost you. If just one animal contains illegal residues, the entire shipment will be held and tests run to determine whether other animals contain residues. If they do, you won’t be paid for them. You could also be prosecuted and face stiff fines and/or jail sentences. Read the label. Even if you’re not in doubt, you should check the label, because label instructions can change. Then take time to follow directions. That’s what the eyeclock symbol on the label is telling you. up 39 percent production in these 15 states compared with 57 percent a year ago.
