Hog Cholera And Swine Plague In Indiana PDF Download

Excerpt from The Serum Treatment of Swine Plague and Hog Cholera Sir: Laboratory investigations in the use of serum for treating hog cholera and swine plague have been carried on by this Bureau for several years, and with such favorable results that, upon your direction, the treatment was given an enlarged field in Page County, Iowa. The work conducted there during the season of 1897 showed that the treatment saved about 80 per cent of the animals injected. The results in 1898 have been exceedingly satisfactory and tend to confirm those of the previous year. So much interest has been mani fested in this work that this article on the subject of serum treat ment for hog cholera and swine plague has been prepared by Dr. De Schweinitz, who has been in charge of the work, assisted by Dr. Marion Dorset, Dr. E. C. Schroeder, and others, and its publication as a bulletin of this Bureau is recommended. The public should be informed that the preparation of the serum by the Bureau is necessarily limited, and therefore its distribution is confined to inspectors for the Bureau and to experiment stations.
