Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hog Cholera and Preventive Serum Hog cholera has for many years been the greatest menace facing the swine industry. Were it not for this disease, hog raising would be one of the most profitable branches of the live stock business. Those who have escaped its effects are indeed fortunate. Next to tuberculosis in hogs more hogs. Have been condemned for hog cholera under federal Inspection than for any other cause. However, this does not give any fair idea of the loss from hog cholera, because it is only a few of such affected hogs that ever live to reach the abattoir, while the tuberculous hogs may not Show evidence of tuberculosis until slaughter. It may be estimated that 85 per cent of all the losses from death or lack of proper development in hogs, are produced by hog cholera. California does not produce sufficient pork to supply the domestic demand. Not all of the territory comprising the State is by any means suitable to the hog industry; but, nevertheless, there is opportunity for a great increase in the production of hogs under present conditions, and with the develop ment of new territory through the introduction of irrigation, this should be one of the most profitable branches of stock raising. That, California is not raising a proportionate number Of hogs is no doubt influenced by losses that have occurred because of hog cholera. The Experiment Station receives many letters every day from hog-raisers of the State, asking information concerning this disease, its symptoms and treatment. This bulletin is prepared to supply such information as will enable the farmer to familiarize himself with the symptoms of hog cholera, the principles of sanitation before and during outbreaks, and the use of anti-hog cholera serum, so that the disease may be prevented, or at least early cases recognized, and appropriate measures taken to prevent extensive dissemination.
