An alarming 400 percent rise in rabies among swine, 300 percent in sheep, and a one third increase in cattle has authorities warning farmers. Rabid wild animals spread the disease to livestock and bite transmission continues. Farmers should watch for appetite loss, restlessness, bellowing, and aggressiveness in cattle and similar signs in sheep. hogs may become excitable. If bites or unusual wounds appear, call a veterinarian promptly and consider vaccination. Children should be warned about tame looking wildlife possibly being rabid.
