The disease resembles a human allergy and is linked to high protein in young Bermuda grass pastures. Veterinarians should diagnose and advise treatment if suspected. The Texas Animal Health Commission extends swine movement restrictions beyond May 28 until further notice as part of the drive to eradicate hog cholera by December 1972.
