Dysentery Can
Drop Production
Of Dairy Cows v
A seasonal warning against
the dangers of winter dysentery
in rattle herds has been issued
by the American Foundation, for
Animal Health.
This condition appears to be
crowing more serious each year,
the 'Foundation reports, with the
next two months marking the
peak season for outbreaks, espe
cially "in cattle which have been
housed most of the winter.
While this disease is seldom
fatal, the Foundation points out
that severe economic losses in the
form of reduced milk production
often occur.
In a typical outbreak, the first
sign of trouble usually is mild
scours in one or two animals.
However, within 24 hours, a ma
jority of the herd may be affected
and milk production may drop
by one-half.
An immediate diagnosis is
needed, the Foundation says, be
cause winter dysentery may be
easily confused with other condi
tions such as coccidiosis. If prop
er veterinary treatment is provid
ed, the course of the disease may
be limited to three to seven days.
Untreated outbreaks often last
two weeks or more.
Preventive and control mea
sures should include avoiding
sudden changes in ration, reduc
tion of feed intake at the first
signs of trouble, and barring visi
tors from feed alleys. Good suc
cess in combatting winter dysten
tery has been reported by many
veterinarians, especially when
treatment is started early in the
course of the disease.
Meat-type Hogs
Efficient Feeders
lowa Test Shows
The raising of meat-type hogs
can mean a substantial saving in
feed costs per pound of gain, ac
cording to animal husbandman
Ralph Durham of lowa State Col
lege.
Based on test records of 800
pigs, Durham says that for every
one-tenth inch less backfat, each
pig, on the average, used 4%
pound less feed for 100 pounds
of gain.
In the lowa tests, boar pigs
-and their barrow brothers “were
fed the same Corn Belt fatten
ing ration and records were kept
on the carcass yield of the bar
rows as well as on feed conver
sion efficiency, rates of gain and
backfat measurements.
It was found that the back
fat probe of the boars correlated
with the feed conversion rate of
the boars and barrow brothers.
Thus, Durham says, as backfat is
reduced, feed efficiency is in
creased and on this basis breed
ing stock can be selected for low
backfat thickness plus rate of
gain, resulting in a hog that is
both fast-gaining and an efficient
meat producer.
Durham further , points out
that all 600 pigs used in the tests
weighted more than 200 pounds
at sixjnonths of age.
3 Pennsylvania Counties
To Be DDT Sprayed
Parts of Wayne, Pike, and Mon
roe Counties will be sprayed with
DDT by air this .summer in an
effort by the state and the U.S.
Department of Agriculture to
wipe out gypsy moth infection in
that area.
In addition an estimated 2,540,-
000 acres will be sprayed in New
York and five New Jersey coun
ties will be sprayed. The program
is expected to cost approximately
$5 million.
The destructive insects attack
oak, poplar, willow, birch and ap
ple trees while in the larvae-stage.
A Federal quarantine ,to prevent
spred of the pest has been in ef
fect in Connecticut, Rhode Island,
Massachusetts, most of New
Hampshire and Vermont and in
many counties of Maine and east
ern New York for years.
A Missouri woman contracted
tularemia from a cat- bite. The
cat became diseased, but without
symptoms, by killing and eating
Infected rabbits.
