download order form

In the late 19th century, hog cholera was a horrific threat, wiping out 10% of the U.S. swine population at its peak. The fight against cholera drove the U.S. animal health industry into being. The cure required unprecedented scientific research and the development, approval, and delivery of innovative products. This type of research, production, and distribution of animal health products became the basis for what is today a $5 billion industry. This book documents the history of the companies and associations that significantly impacted this development and captures the voices of many of the principal players in the early days of the industry.
