TREATMENT, PREVENTION AND CONTROL

  • No specific treatment. Prohibit the feeding of uncooked garbage to pigs
  • Hyperimmune serum is the only treatment which may have value in the very early stages of disease if given at the dose level of 50-150 ml per animal.
  • If hyperimmune serum is given to the incontact animals it gives better protection
  • Simultaneous method of vaccination : simultaneous adminstration of hyperimmune serum along with vaccination with virulent swine fever virus
  • Vaccinate the pigs after six months of age with attenuated live virus vaccines or inactivated vaccines then annual revaccination to be done
