The action was taken as a precautionary measure by USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), pending further research on whether this disease can be transmitted naturally to other animals or man. In addition, APHIS of ficials announced that the conditions under which federal indemnities can be paid to livestock owners for their losses from this disease - as well as the rates for such payments - were being broadened. i LEO LANDIS 692 4647 posed animals, pending further research." he said. Scrapie is a virus disease occuring naturally in sheep and goats, that causes progressive degeneration of the animal’s central nervous system. It can be transmitted from one animal to another, and the virus can incubate in an affected animal up to 42 months - or even longer - before symptoms appear. These symptoms are itching, loss of coordination and a general decline in health • ending in death of the animal up to six months or longer after symptoms appear. The disease was first discovered in the United States in 1947, and 207 flocks in some 31 states sub sequently have been found infected. An eradication program was initiated by state and federal animal health officials in 1952, BEAC^EEDS When others stop for drying, or must sell at continue to harvest and have harvest, you’ll flexibility in • Use on food or feed grains • Reduce dry matter loss • No mold activity • Preseive full feeding value • No heating Disadvantages of Drying + Investment + Depreciation and repairs + Fuel and electricity + Extra labor + Transportation + Shrinkage * trademark KEMIN INDUSTRIES INC CLARK DAIRY SUPPLY Rising Sun Md W - L hSK ERT “• THARPE & GREEN MILL Churchville MD H.
