The Swine Fever is a disease that affects pigs and wild boar. The virus that causes it is very different than the Swine Flu H1N1/09 virus that causes Swine Flu in people.
Swine Fever is also known as Classical Swine Fever, hog cholera, and pig plague.
Swine Fever spreads rapidly and easily among pigs and causes fever, skin lesions, and even convulsions. It can cause losses for the pork producers, with the younger animals dying as quickly as 15 days from the onset of symptoms.
See the WikiPedia link below for more information on Swine Fever, a disease of pigs which is different than Swine flu (H1N1/09 virus) that caused the pandemic of 2009.
