Hog cholera is the most devastating hog disease in Taiwan. Its existence is still an exceedingly serious threat to the industry of hog raising, the most important rural side-line industry of this island. Early in 1949, before the Joint Commission on Rural Reconstrueti,on moved its headquarters to Taiwan, the first project approved by the Joint Commission for this island was the "Production of Crystal Violet Hog Cholera Vaccine" sponsored by the Taiwan Provincial Veterinary Serum Institute. Following the success in the manufacture of the crystal violet vaccine, this vaccine has been generally adopted and widely used in the island-wide mass hog vaccination program during the period of 1950 to the present (1954). However, the- veterinaries of Taiwan have never stopped in seeking for a bettElr vaccine for combating hog cholera, a more effective, cheap, yet safe vaccine.
