Zusammenfassung:Prevention lies in the pasteurization of milk fed hogs, especially that from creameries, and in allowing hogs to feed behind adult cattle only when cattle have passed the tuberculin test; also in thoroughly cooking all garbage, offal, or carcasses before they are fed to hogs. Young steers or young beef animals as a rule do not spread tuberculoses among hogs. Therefore no change need be made in the very profitable practice of allowing hogs to follow feeders and stockers unless these cattle are not healthy. When tuberculosis already exists in a drove of hogs all the affected animals, whether hogs or cattle, should be removed from the premises. The hogs should be sent to market for slaughter at an abattoir under Federal inspection. The tuberculin test should be applied to all cattle on the place, and those reacting should be properly disposed of. The pens and stable should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before restocking.
