20-Year State Campaign Against
Brucellosis Complete in Two Years--
Leland H Bull, State Deputy
Secretary of Agriculture, has ad
vised Pennsylvania .dairy farm
ers a 20-year campaign to
clean up their most trouble
some disease of cattle may be
“virtually completed” within two
years.
The State’s or
Bang’s disease eradication pro
gram has been stepped up re
cently and is moving much fast
er than expected, he told the
opening session of the annual 2-
day meeting of the State Brucel
losis Committee on March 22.
“We now have 34 of -the- 67
counties officially certified as
brucellosis-free, seven qf them
attaining the honor roll-" within
the past year,” the Deputy Sec
retary declared. “Centre, Cam
bria and Mercer,jCounties are
nearly ready for, certification
and all Western Pennsylvania
should be cleaned up by the end
of this year.”
- Extension Service Praised
He told delegates from county
brucellosis committees in every
part of the State that much of
the progress can be attributecT
to the continuing educational
program, of the agricultural ex
tension service of the Pennsyl
vania State University and the
cooperation of practicing vet
erinarians and county commit
tees •
Dr H A Milo, director of
the State Bureau of Animal In
dustry, told the state commit
tee that 87 per cent of all cattle
in Pennsylvania are now under
some official plan of testing for
control and eradication of bru
cellosis He said 87,750 herds
have been tested since 1937 and
nearly 1.200,000 head of cattle
are in the-current program A
county is certified when less
than 1 per cent, of cattle and
under 5 per cent of herds show
presence of the disease which
causes abortion in cattle.
In addition to the 34 certified
counties, Pennsylvania now has
14 where testing has been com
pleted and 17 are partially test
ed. Dr. Milo said-
Three mobile laboratories are
now operating in 36 counties,
using the “milk ring” test,
cording to Dr. C. M. Stevens, in
charge of the brucellosis divi
sion, (State Bureau of Animal
Industry From January 1, 1955
to this March 15 these traveling
laboratories have tested milk
samples from 53,150 herds com
prising more than 640,000 cat
tle. Tests revealed an average
of 2 5 suspected herds buConly
30 per cent of these showed
actual presence of the disease
through blood tests.
Committee Pledges Support
Prospects for early complete
eradication of brucellosis from
all Pennsylvania dairy and beef
cattle herds brightened with a
pledge by the State Brucellosis
Committee of continued support
of the testing program.
At the closing session of its
two-day meeting, the Commit
tee commended the Department
