PennAg supporting drive
for laryngotracheitis
immunization
EPHRATA - The PennAg
Industries Association,
headquartered here, is
cooperating with the Penn
sylvania Department of
Agriculture and other
organizations and persons in
an effort to reach small
poultry flock owners, 1 urging
them to vaccinate against
laryngotracheitis (LT)
annually.
The agribusiness
organization, which has over
400 members throughout the
state, is also suggesting that
feed suppliers post notices
telling customers about the
availability of vaccines. If a
business does not stock
vaccine, they may arrange
for it through several
sources, says Donald .W.
Parke, executive vice
president of Penn Ag.
Technical information on
vaccines, as well as sup
pliers may be obtained from
Dr. Wilson L. Miller, a
veterinarian who specializes
in poultry, located in

community since milk is the
primary source of calcium in
the diet. The action of
sunlight on the skin is
another source of the
nutrient.
The amount of vitamin D
in the diet is increasing,
however, via regular use of
dietary supplements high in
vitamin D, fortification of
other foods and because of
increasing levels of vitamin
D in meat. This latter source
is due to a combination of
greater use of vitamin D in
animal foods and the fact
that the vitamin D content of
animal tissues is relative to
what is consumed in their
food. Regular consumption
of extremely high levels of
the vitamin may lead to
toxicity. Some researchers
have suggested that one
manifestation of this toxicity
may be the development of
coronary heart disease,
although data are
preliminary. In any event,
when vitamin D toxicity does
occur it is most likely the
result of regular con-
