Veterinary Group Warns of Disease In Swine Herds ATLANTA — Farmers should watch their swine herds careful ly for signs of sneezing and sniff ling in pigs, according to the Georgia Veterinary Medical As sociation. These symptoms frequently in dicate a disease known as atrop hic rhinitis which can result in heavy financial losses to farmers who depend upon hogs for a ma jor share of their farm income, the GVMA says. Athrophic rhinitis is a disease which has spread in recent years despite warnings from veterinary medical authorities. It is a con dition which causes a wasting a way of the bones in the nose. The striken animals show a pe cular dished in or twisted iace and often are very susceptible to respiratory diseases. There is little that can be re commended in the way of treat ment that offers any great deal of hope but veterinary medical scientists have developed a pro gram which will prevent and eliminate the disease from most swine herds. When the disease is discovered the Georgia Veterinary Medical Association says the farmer must be willing to either destroy or iso late the affected pigs and then market the rest of the herd. All buildings and equipment must be cleaned and disinfected before more hogs are purchased and the GVMA urges that new stock purchased should come from herds known to be free of the disease. Farmers may save some of the animals if they will isolate, at weaning time, the healthy pigs they wish to keep as foundation stock, These pigs can then be checked with an instrument known as a “rhinoscope”, a de vice which checks the nasal cav ities of each animal and indicates whether or not it is diseased. This examination should be re peated at breeding time and all animals which are not “clean” should be removed from the herd. The Georgia Veterinary Medi cal Association says that good management practices and im mediate action when symptoms are discovered is the farmer’s best means of protecting him self.
