Care for Hogs After Cholera Vaccination
Observers should vaccinate hogs around weaning time to maximize lifelong protection. Have a veterinarian inspect for enteritis or pneumonia before vaccination. Afterward, keep hogs on clean pasture with ample water, reduce feed, and provide a simple, low carbohydrate ration.
