Salvage portion of hog cholera plan eliminated
Washington AP The Agriculture Department Friday trimmed hog cholera eradication rules by removing the salvage option for exposed herds. Under prior policy, exposed animals without outward signs could be salvaged and shipped to packing houses, but the new rule requires destruction and disposal of all animals with indemnities provided. Officials noted the salvage method risked spreading infection via garbage scraps and that all states favored ending it. The target to eradicate hog cholera nationwide remains 1972.
