Colostrum Best Calf 'Wonder Drug' Young calves are easy targets for digestive diseases, the Ameri can Veterinary Medical Associa tion warns farmers. The cow’s first milk, in large doses, is tho best means of preventing these diseases, the Association says. This first milk is called colos trum which is more valuable than many of the “wonder drugs” in safeguarding against certain calf d'seases, according to veterinary medical authorities. Colostrum, produced by cows after freshening, contains many health guarding substances and antibodies not found in milk pro duced shortly after calving. Re search by veterinarians has shown that feeding a small amount of colostrum in addition to the cow’s regular milk leaves calves highly resistant to scours and other in testinal disturbances. Colostrum may be frozen and used to supplement the colostrum in the dam’s milk during the first few weeks of a calf’s life, the Association said. 25,000 Animals Checked For Importation ■ More than 25,000 animals rang ing from common ordinary mules to rare okapis were examined by veterinarians for importation or export at ports of U. S. entry in 1956, according to US D.A. figures. Livestock shipments by air dur ing the year were the heaviest in history. Aircraft carried 63 per cent -of all U. S. livestock exported in 1956 Increased trade in animals for agricultural and zoological pur poses, coupled with more rapid means of transportation has in creased • the hazard to livestock and public health from foreign animal diseases. Veterinary inspection of im ported animals is a vital factor in preventing the entry of new dis eases, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. Inspection of animals for export is also of value in maintaining foreign markets for U. S. live stock and livestock products be cause foreign customers are assur ed of healthy livestock and whole some animal products.

Chemical Thlnners Gaining Popularity The use of chemical sprays for thinning apples and other decidu ous tree fruits is expected to be come more popular among com mercial growers as a means of getting fruit of better size and finish and to achieve annual rath er than biennial bearing, accord ing to USDA horticulturists. Another advantage of spray thinning, the horticulturists point out, is the lower cost of this method and the need for less hand thinning. Hand thinning of heavily loaded trees may cost as much as 75 to 200 dollars an acre, compared with 5 to 6 dollars for a spray application.
