Animals within the state found to be infected with this communicable and incurable viral infection must now be permanently identified and quarantined. A blood sampling examination, known as the Coggins Test, is the currently accepted veterinary procedure for spotting and confirming the presence of EIA in the Wampler, dairy calves. Keystone Degree medals were presented to Lynn Struphar, Luke Hcagy, Kevin Bucks and Tom Fair. Heagy also was presented the leadership award and the DcKalb agriculture award for production. The snowmobile dealers award was given to Deb tangenecker, Doreen Cooke, Ken Pierce, and Bruce Buffenmoycr. The pumpkin contest winners were Debra Reigle, David Leßoy and Greg Hummer. James Wampler won the Kiwanis Calf award. Proficiency awards were presented to Tom Fair, animal. EIA poses no threat to humans. A further step in the control process would require that horses, ponies and other equines entering the state after April 30, 1975 be certified free of EIA. Evidence of a negative of ficial (Coggins) test, made within 12 months of date of entry, must accompany the animal. Secretary of Agriculture Young D. Hance has set a public hearing on the proposed regulations for March 18, 1975 at 10:00 A.M. in the Conference Room, Maryland Department of Agriculture, Parole Plaza Office Building, Annapolis, Maryland. • • • Power Circle Drive • True 3-Point Suspension • No Weights to Adjust Stop In Today for Free Catalog.
