Impossible situation
In the April 1983 issue of the Rural
Voice there was an article by Rhea
Hamilton, entitled "Managing a Disease-
free Pig Herd."
The term "disease free herd" is one
that I have discouraged for many years,
since it implies an impossible situation.
Disease-free herds cannot exist, but
disease free pigs in fact can be raised at
laboratories in germ -free isolators - they
are called gnotobiotic pigs.
The article is well written and is
supportive of a management system that
encompasses the present technologies
to reduce the prevalence of disease in
herds - but not herds which are free of
diseases.
I would appreciate receiving future
copies of the Rural Voice.
