The Rural Voice, 1988-04, Page 65WHAT'S NEW PIONEER OFFERS SWINE VACCINE Pioneer Hi -Bred Limited, Canadian distributor for Diamond Scientific biol- ogicals, is offering a new vaccine to combat respiratory diseases in swine. Concordm" V provides five -way protection against hog diseases caused by serotypes 1, 5, and 7 of hacmophilus pleuropneumonia, plus protection against pasteurella multocida and haemophilus parasuis. "All three of these disease catego- ries," says Rudy Nusink, Pioneer mar- keting manager, "present tremendous economical risks for the hog producer, but the key distinguishing factor of Concord V is the haemophilus parasuis bacterin." Haemophilus parasuis has long been recognized as the cause of Glasser's Disease, but has more recently been implicated as a trigger of meningitis, polyarthritis, polyserositis, swine flu, and atrophic rhinitis. Haemophilus pleuropneumonia prompts chronic poor performance and can cause sudden death. The trend to confinement operations contributes to its activation and spread. Pleuropneu- monia most often hits in the critical growing -finishing period and follows stress caused by moving, mixing, or sudden weather changes. Concord V is available in a 10 -dose size. A 2 -ml dose is injected intramus- cularly; the second dose is given two to three weeks after the first.0 JD SELLS THE 2810 The John Deere 2810 semi -integral moldboard plow is designed for tractors up to 235 hp.
