Efficiency in
Livestock
Breeding Sought
An all-out effort by farmers
and stockmen for “marked im
provement of breeding efficiency
in farm and ranch livestock” was
called for today by spokesmen
for the American Foundation for
Animal Health
“Sterility and delayed breed
ing have been estimated to cost
dairj merf in the United States in
excess of $2OO million dollars
each year,” the Foundation said.
“Approximately five per cent of
all milking cows have to be sold
each year because they fail to
bleed About another 30 per cent
fail to conceive easily, resulting
in additional losses in income,
time, and value of the stock.
