1. INTRODUCTION

Hog cholera is a serious disease in the world and Vietnam, is one of five swine fever diseases in pigs,
virus causing fever, anemia, hemorrhage and necrosis. Disease occurs in all age groups.
It is fatal disease with high rate if not treated promptly and properly.

2. DIAGNOSIS

Pigs can be infected at any age, can be very soon if sows are not vaccinated during the late stages of pregnancy. The signs are: swine fever, anorexia, constipation, difficulty breathing, lema in eyelids, hemorrhagic ears; after 3-4 days, decreased body temperature, vomiting, increasingly severe diarrhea, yellow diarrhoea, nervous signs before death. If secondary infections, diarrhea and respiratory disease will get exacerbated.

For chronic disease, pigs get scraggy, pale skinned, long time fever, stunted, growth retardative. Sows: respiratory disturbance, foetal death with mummification, embryo death.
There are characteristic post-mortem changes with haemorrhagic lymph nodes, dead patches in the spleen, multiple small haemorrhages in the kidneys and so-called "button ulcers" in the gut.

3. PREVENTION
Inject Cholera vaccination of sows in late stages of pregnancy (15-21 days before giving birth).
For new born piglets of vaccinated sows, inject at 43 days old. For piglets of not yet vaccinated sows, inject at 15-20 days age.
Medicate again after a month.

4. TREATMENT OF MARPHAVET
Spray IOD MAR 5 % once a day
Vaccination with 1,5-2 times higher dose at the time to enhance immune disease for pigs.

To improve resistance and nonspecific immunity, help swine virus excreted faster, combine with inject GLUCO-K-C-NAMIN and administrate orally ĐIỆN GIẢI-GLUCO K-C (Electrolytes- Glucose- K-C)
After injection, the diseased pigs will die much faster but we have to accept.

In the case of secondary infection:
- Inject CEFANEW- LA or MARPHAMOX - LA for anti-inflammatory, anti- pathogenic bacteria
