Hog Cholera Vaccines
May De Banned Dec.
Agriculture Commissioner
James A. ("Jim") Graham today
gave notice to veterinarians and
swine producers that the sale
and use of hog cholera vaccines
will probably be banned in the
State after December 31, 1968.
Graham said resolutions si
recent regional hog cholera
eradication conferences urged
the U.S. Department of Agri
culture to make illegal the In
terstate shipment of the vac
cines as of the end of this year,
and it is considered very likely
that such action will be taken
by the federal agency.
"If USDA adopts this regula
tion, it will eventually exhaust
the supply of vaccines in North
Carolina, since none are manu
factured in the State, " he said.
"However, the North Carolina
Hog Cholera Advisory Commit
tee agreed In a meeting on July
1 that the federal regulation Is
adopted. Otherwise, varying
amounts of vaccines will be in
the hands of private veteri
narians and buyers of pigs will
have no way of knowing whether
or not the swine have been vac
cinated. -
"Inasmuch as some states
will not accept vacinated swine,
it is Important that buyers and
shippers know what they are get
ting. Also, a cut-off date notice
is Important so that veteri
narians and distributors will
not find themselves with a con
siderable Investment in stocks
of vaccines they cannot legal
ly use."
Dr. T.F. Zwelgart, head of
the N.C.- Department of Agri
culture Veterinary Division Is
currently notifying veterina
rians of the probable discontinu
ance of the vaccines.

an Increase of over 5 per cent
above the same period a year
ago.v- ; - ; -
In the first five months of this
year North Carolina has achiev
ed over 40 per cent of Its 1968
sales goal of $68, 800,000.
Savings Bond and Freedom

County, according to R.M.
Rlddick, Perquimans County
Volunteer Chairman, totaled

five months of this year the
combined sales amounted to

seconded and passed, the Board
voted to buy two air conditioners
for Courthouse,
On motion ' duly made,
seconded and passed, the Board
adopted the County Budget for
fiscal year 1968-69, as adver
tised in the Perquimans Weekly
in June, 1968. .

$100.00 assessed value for fiscal
year 1968-69, and hereby levies a

"tinder the proposed federal
regulaton, swine vaccinated
after December 31, 1968, would
be eligible to move Interstate
through June 30, 1969, provid
ed requirements or states oi
destination were met," the
letter states. "After June 30,
1969. all swine vaccinated dur
ing the period mentioned could
move interstate only for Im
mediate slaughter," Dr. Zwel
gart's notice stated. "Contingent
upon the approval of the pro
posed federal regulation, It will
not be legal to sell or adminis
ter modified live virus hog cho
lera vaccines in North Carolina
after December 31, 1968. The
use of anti-hog cholera serum
or antibody concentrate will not
be affected by this change."
The State's hog cholera law
provides that the use of hog
cholera vaccines shall be only
on written permit from the
State Veterinarian, the position
Dr. Zwelgart holds. Since Feb
ruary 1 of this year he has Is
sued such permits only to qual
ified veterinarians. If the pro
posed federal regulation Is
adopted, he will cancel all such
permits effective December 3L
Dr. Zwelgart said the pro
posal to ban vaccines is part
of the nationwide hog cholera
eradication program.
"While vaccines once serv
ed a useful purpose when the
disease was widespread, they
have also at times been a source
of hog cholera," he said. "As
incidence of the disease has been
drastically reduced, or com
pletely eradicated in so many
states, It is believed by many
that we have reached a stage
in the eradication program
where eliminating use of the
vaccines Is the next Important
step." . .
Dr. Zwelgart also announced
that, effective Immediately,
Commissioner Graham Is waiv
ing a regulatory requirement
that all garbage-fed swine must
be vaccinated against hog
cholera. Garbage feeders who
wish to continue having their
swine vaccinated may do so un
til such time as the use of vac
cines is banned In the State.
