Abstract

Abstract does not appear. First page follows.

Swine being highly susceptible to bovine tuberculosis and, under many systems of swine husbandry, exposed to infectious material from tuberculosis cattle, it was thought advisable to carry out certain experiments at the University of California to test the protective effect of the Calmette-Guérin culture known as BCG, upon hogs under controlled exposures to infection. Results of similar experiments conducted with cattle have already been published by the writers.⁽⁵⁾

Review of Literature

At the time the experiments reported herein were started no publications were known to the writers regarding the immunizing effect of BCG on swine, and contributions appearing since that time are not in agreement.

Ascoli⁽¹⁾,⁽²⁾ and his collaborators reported an experiment with 12 pigs, 6 of which were vaccinated before the tenth day of age. The other 6 were retained unvaccinated as controls. Of the 6 vaccinated pigs, 3 were given the vaccine by mouth, each receiving a dose of 10 mg on three alternate days.
