Environmental Injustice and the Mississippi Hog Industry There is also an absence of large hog operations in small towns not in the northeast section of the state or in the Delta, the large geographic area on the western side of the state adjacent to the Mississippi River. Hog CAFOs in proximity to percentage of poverty, Mississippi hog counties, 1990. The inequitable distribution of swine operations is a threat to Mississippians because exposure to noxious odors, airborne contaminants, and microbial pollutants from the confinement houses, lagoons, and sprayfields is a concern for individuals with preexisting respiratory problems, children, elderly, and the uninsured. ehp.niehs.nih.gov /members/2002/suppl-2/195-201wilson/wilson-full.html   (5565 words)

CIDRAP >> African Swine Fever ASF is similar to classical swine fever (hog cholera) and porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome in terms of clinical signs and autopsy lesions (see References: Pig Disease Information Centre). ASF is often clinically confused with hog cholera or classical swine fever. African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious, usually fatal viral disease of animals in the pig (Suidae) family. www.cidrap.umn.edu /cidrap/content/biosecurity/ag-biosec/anim-disease/asf.html   (1167 words)

Swine fever outbreak blasts Britain's pigs - October 15, 2000 Classical swine fever, also known as hog cholera, is a viral disease of swine that can result in high mortality. Swine offal and hog bristles have also been imported. According to the USDA-APHIS Center for Emerging Diseases, which is closely monitoring the situation, classical swine fever was diagnosed Aug 8 in a herd of approximately 3,500 six- to eight-week-old pigs in Suffolk County, England. www.avma.org /onlnews/javma/oct00/s101500c.asp   (1167 words)

Argentina Aims To Eradicate Swine Fever Without Vaccination Classical swine fever, also known as hog cholera, has not appeared in Argentina since May 2000. Argentina Aims To Eradicate Swine Fever Without Vaccination - ARGENTINA - Argentina aims to eradicate classical swine fever, a highly infectious viral disease that kills hogs, without using vaccination to do so, Agriculture Secretary Miguel Campos said. On Tuesday, hog experts dismissed concern that their industry might suffer a fate similar to that of the beef sector when they stop using vaccine. www.thepigsite.com /LatestNews?AREA=LatestNews&Display=7216   (1167 words)

Merck Vet. Edition - African Swine Fever: Introduction African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious hemorrhagic disease of pigs that produces a wide range of clinical signs and lesions that closely resemble those of hog cholera (Hog Cholera: Introduction). Although ASF virus can be adapted to grow in cells from different species, it does not replicate readily in any species other than swine. The least variable clinical signs are loss of appetite, depression, and recumbency; other signs include hyperemia of the skin of the ears, abdomen, and legs; respiratory distress; vomiting; bleeding from the nose or rectum; and sometimes diarrhea. www.merckvetmanual.com /mvm/htm/bc/53200.htm   (1167 words)

CBS News Not High On The Hog Stench June 20, 2005 12:00:10 Inside, sensors compare the emissions of hogs that are fed the new diets with those of swine in adjacent rooms being raised on traditional livestock feed. Hogs fed experimental feeds produce excrement with significantly reduced levels of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, both of which help give swine manure its offensive smell, said Brian Richert, an animal sciences professor. Every four hours, plastic tubes mounted throughout the complex draw in air from rooms where squealing hogs jostle for position at feeding troughs. www.cbsnews.com /stories/2005/06/20/tech/main703009.shtml   (486 words)

Animal Health - Swine Influenza, H3N2 Porcine circovirus and swine influenza virus are newly emerged and recently re-emerged viral pathogens of swine that cause substantial economic loss for swine producers. Missouri hog producers have a new disease to contend with, according to Tom Fangman, Commercial Agriculture swine veterinarian at the University of Missouri-Columbia. The seroreactivity levels in swine serum samples and the nucleotide sequences of six additional 1999 isolates, all of which were of the triple-reassortant genotype, suggested that H3N2 viruses containing avian PA and PB2 genes had spread throughout much of the country. www.fass.org /fasscience/animalhealth.asp   (2086 words)

Swine Diseases Classical swine fever (CSF), also known as hog cholera, is a highly contagious viral disease of swine. Swine disease outbreaks are often related to a high concentration of pigs raised continuously in the same facility or on the same lot or pasture. Swine producers are often confused by the complexity of the mycoplasmal infections; this fact sheet is an attempt to clarify the information that is currently available about these swine diseases. www.antwifarms.com /swinediseases.shtml   (3522 words)

ARS Research Timeline - Story on Hog Cholera Eradication Hog cholera was the most devastating disease of swine in this country for more than a century. No cases of hog cholera were confirmed during a 3-year eradication test begun in 1961 in Lowndes County, Ga. Ninety-seven percent of the hogs in the county received two vaccinations during a 2-month period. The virus remained active throughout the winter in carcasses of cholera-infected hogs buried in the fall, and unburied carcasses of infected pigs remained infectious for 11 weeks during cold weather. www.ars.usda.gov /is/timeline/cholera.htm   (1359 words)

HOG CHOLERA Hog cholera (HC) is a highly contagious viral disease of swine that occurs in an acute, a subacute, a chronic, or a persistent form. Hog cholera virus is a lipid-enveloped pathogen belonging to the family Flaviviridae, genus Pestivirus. The isolation of HCV in cell culture and the identification using fluorescein-labeled hog cholera antibody (fluorescent antibody cell culture test) can provide confirmation in cases where the results of investigation of frozen tissue sections are inconclusive. www.vet.uga.edu /vpp/gray_book/Handheld/hoc.htm   (2601 words)

African Swine Fever virus infection of pigs - ASF African swine fever is very similar to classical swine fever (hog cholera) and porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS) in clinical signs and autopsy lesions. African swine fever is subclinically (without producing disease symptoms) endemic in warthogs in parts of southern and eastern Africa (not South Africa or Zimbabwe). Other wild African suids (bush pigs and giant forest hogs) are also sublinically affected by ASF, but their role, if any, in the epidemiology of African swine fever is unclear. www.pighealth.com /ASF.htm   (1265 words)

California Hog Hunting Variously described as "wild boars" and "wild hogs"--and, by some imaginative outfitters and writers, as "European" and even "Russian" wild boars--California wild hogs are all properly termed "feral pigs." They are descendants of domestic swine that, during the homesteading era, were allowed to roam free, and they established breeding populations in the wild. Wild hogs are not found throughout California, but they are well-distributed along the coast range from Santa Barbara northward and in the foothills of the Sierras on the east side of the San Joaquin Valley. Wild hogs are not bulletproof and under most conditions are certainly not dangerous. www.huntingmag.com /big_game/hog_0516   (2050 words)

APHIS News Classical swine fever (CSF), also known as hog cholera, is a highly contagious viral disease of swine. Swine owners who suspect their pigs may have CSF should immediately contact their local veterinarian or Federal or State animal health official. Trace all movements of swine to and from the affected premises. www.aphis.usda.gov /lpa/pubs/fsheet_faq_notice/fs_ahcsf.html   (2050 words)

Untitled Document Nevertheless, Classical Swine Fever and African Swine Fever remain major threats to the porcine industry in Europe and Africa, and could cause major damage to American hog farmers if it were introduced into the United States. Both classical and African Swine Fever are extremely contagious; a pig may be shedding viruses and infecting the herd for as much as two weeks before symptoms develop. The virus can also be spread by workers travelling from one farm to another, and (in the case of African Swine Fever) by ticks or airborne insects. home.earthlink.net /~maxcoa/Hybrid/2002/July2002/swinefever.html   (2050 words)

CIDRAP >> Classical Swine Fever (CSF) Classical swine fever (CSF), also known as hog cholera and swine fever, is a highly contagious viral disease of swine with acute, chronic, and persistent presentations (see References: Moennig 2000, Murphy 1999). CSF is indistinguishable clinically or pathologically from African swine fever. Intensification in the swine industry, including a large number of animals per site and increased movement and distance between sources, increases the possibility of widespread dispersion of the disease (see References: Kleiboeker 2002). www.cidrap.umn.edu /cidrap/content/biosecurity/ag-biosec/anim-disease/csf.html   (2050 words)

HOG CHOLERA Hog cholera (HC) is a highly contagious viral disease of swine that occurs in an acute, a subacute, a chronic, or a persistent form. Chronic HC is characterized by prolonged and intermittent disease periods with anorexia, fever, alternating diarrhea and constipation, and alopecia. In the acute form, the disease is characterized by high fever, severe depression, multiple superficial and internal hemorrhages, and high morbidity and mortality. www.vet.uga.edu /vpp/gray_book/FAD/hoc.htm   (2050 words)

Classical swine fever - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Classical swine fever (CSF) or hog cholera is a highly contagious disease of pigs and wild boar. The symptoms are indistinguishable from those of African swine fever. It causes fever, skin lesions, convulsions and usually (particularly in young animals) death within 15 days. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Classical_swine_fever   (2050 words)

African Swine Fever virus infection of pigs - ASF African swine fever is very similar to classical swine fever (hog cholera) and porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS) in clinical signs and autopsy lesions. African swine fever is subclinically (without producing disease symptoms) endemic in warthogs in parts of southern and eastern Africa (not South Africa or Zimbabwe). An outbreak of African swine fever was detected on 5 November 1999 (estimated date of first infection: 3 November) at Aldeia das Fernandes (in Alentejo region of south Portugal). www.pighealth.com /ASF.htm   (2050 words)

Feral Pig (Sus scrofa) Feral pigs in Texas are descended from introductions of European wild hogs for sporting purposes, and from escaped domestic swine that have established feral populations. European wild hogs and feral hogs interbreed readily, with traits of European wild hogs apparently being dominant. Hogs are also fond of marsh and grass-sedge flats in coastal areas, particularly if wild grapes are common. www.nsrl.ttu.edu /tmot1/sus_scro.htm   (430 words)

Rocky Mountain News: Local A veritable meat and manure factory, the operation sprawled over 23,000 acres east of Greeley, fattening as many as 150,000 hogs wedged inside jammed production buildings and saturating sandy grasslands with a river of swine waste gunned from industrial sprinklers. The amendment tightened regulations on large hog farms, which had drawn national attention from environmental activists and journalists in the 1990s because of the massive quantities of manure and liquid waste the operations produce. What was once Colorado's largest hog farm is raising a new stink from regulators demanding that the company clean up heavily contaminated soil and water and pay overdue leases on thousands of acres of state land. www.rockymountainnews.com /drmn/local/article/0,1299,DRMN_15_4483498,00.html   (1567 words)

Practical Experience with Swine Fever and The Netherlands was exposed to an outbreak of Classical Swine Fever (CSF, Hog Cholera) in 1997 and 1998, and to an outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) in 2001. The contents of this paper are based on information from the web site of the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature Management and  Fisheries in the Netherlands: www.minlnv.nl/mkz (for Foot and Mouth Disease) and www.minlnv.nl/varkenspest (for Classical Swine Fever), and the present situation in the Netherlands with regard to transport regulations for pigs. From the overall epidemical analysis it appeared that the main infection routes of CSF are from neighbouring herds, transport and persons (Figure 3). mark.asci.ncsu.edu /nsif/01proc/merks2.htm   (1567 words)

African Swine Fever African Swine Fever is clinically, and on post mortem, very similar to Hog Cholera, which in parts of Europe is referred to as "Swine Fever" or "Classical Swine Fever". African Swine Fever (ASF) is a highly contagious, generalized disease of pigs caused by an Iridovirus that exhibits varying virulence between strains, although different serotypes cannot be identified. Chronic - transient recurring fever with stunting and emaciation. epix.hazard.net /topics/animal/asf.htm   (1567 words)

Fred Patzel: Pavarotti of the Piglot Such titans as Swine-Songster Guy Bender, Baying Bob Warren, and Caruso of the Hog Belt Everett Dodd had thrown their cloth caps into the ring. As it was impractical to accommodate dozens of rooting hogs in a theatre, the snout-count method of scoring was abandoned. Thomas M. Kilmartin of Griswold sued the city of Council Bluffs charging that one of his hogs leaped out of his truck and was killed when he heard Patzel's call being rebroadcast. www.wodehouse.org /PlumLines/patzel.html   (1714 words)

Breeds of Livestock - Ossabaw Island Swine The Ossabaw Island hog population is classified as Critical by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy. The hogs of Ossabaw Island, off the coast of Georgia, are descendants of Spanish pigs brought to the New World over 400 years ago. Small breeding groups of Ossabaw Island hogs, descendants of animals brought from the island during the 1970's, can be found on the mainland. www.ansi.okstate.edu /breeds/swine/ossabawisland   (375 words)

Farm & Country June 21, 1999 If you are an Ontario pork producer, you already have a piece of this easier-on-the-environment pig thanks to the 20 cents per hog deducted by Ontario Pork from settlement cheques. That's equivalent to having the standard rate of about 1,500 units per kg of supplemental fungal-derived phytase added to a swine ration. Ontario Pork has since financed the replacement of 14 farrowing crates at the university with a model "that is more piglet-friendly," Forsberg relates. www.agpub.on.ca /iss/99/june/cover21.htm   (1725 words)
