hog cholera

Hog Cholera, which is also referred as swine fever or classical swine fever by some, is a serious disease of swine.

Hog cholera virus (classical swine fever) is a mechanically transmitted Pestivirus, a genus of viruses that belong to the family Flaviviridae.

Hog cholera was a worry - but not for farmers who bought Merry War Powdered Lye, "the best insurance against hog cholera, destroyer of worms and best hog conditioner and fattener the world has ever known." The folks who sold Columbian Hog & Cattle Fattener begged to differ, offering a 90-day free trial.

With the development of these and other new products, the biologics industry began to move its emphasis on hog cholera serum and virus to one based on the production of numerous new vaccines and bacterial products.

In the meantime, the development of traditional national compulsory vaccines such as foot and mouth disease vaccine, bird flu vaccine, blue ear disease vaccine, hog cholera vaccine in China are relatively mature as a result of national animal vaccine procurement policies.

The major problems were hog cholera, bovine pleuropneumonia, Texas cattle fever, turkey blackhead, and bovine tuberculosis.
