Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 12,1979-
H. E. Amstutz, professor of
veterinary medicine at
Purdue University told
scientists attending the 27th
Annual Pfizer Research
Conference here this week.
Reviewing research
conducted in 1978 on
respiratory diseases of
cattle, Amstutz said the real
killer of cattle continues to
be pasteurella. Although
numerous drugs “have been
widely used to treat
respiratory disease, they
often have not been used

CONTROL WEEDS
IN ALFALFA WITH
BUTYRAC-200
Apply 2 to 4 weeks after alfalfa
emerges. Controls broadleaf weeds in
seedling or established legumes. This
remarkable selective action killing
many broadleaf weeds without affecting
certain broadleaf crops has been
proven by research men and comm*
ercial growers throughout the country.

wisely, he said. Research in
the past year focused on
drug incompatibilities and
their effect on laboratory
tests as well as bacterial
resistance to commonly used
antibacterial compounds.
Studies on interferon and
other agents as antiviral
weapons promise to receive
much emphasis in future
years, Amstutz noted. In
1978, reseachers also in
vestigated the stimulation of
cell mediated immunity
when the system has been
depressed.
Amstutz said that although
more effective vaccines and
medicines will decrease the
loss of cattle from
respiratory diseases,
current breeding, feeding,
housing, and management
practices must be changed if
the problem is to be solved in
the feedlot and calf bam.
Research on herd health
programs for the prevention
and control of bovine
respiratory diseases were
also evaluated.
