A2o—Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, November 20,1982 Guernsey breeders (Continued from Page Al) or artificial breeding by infected Kirk’s 113 Guernseys pumped an bulls. average of 15,321 pounds of milk Yost reported on a six-year study from Wisconsin which identified 42 herds as Johne’s-infected. The breakdown by breeds were: 19 Holstein herds; 16 Guernsey herds; one Jersey herd; 14 mixed herds; and two Angus herds. During the Louisville seminar, said Yost, a Wisconsin veterinarian voiced his approval of a vaccination program. The six year study indicated that only 11 cows out of 2,948 animals vaccinated were positive for Johne’s. Current Johne’s diagnosis hinges on a 80 to 90-day culture period. To reduce the time lag, said Yost, researchers are working on a test similar to the tuberculosis reactor test which can be read in a few days. Yost admitted the new test is not without its drawbacks. “Certain types of mastitis and bacterial infection will show up,” Yost reported. Yost’s remarks capped an evening of recognition and reflection for the Red Rose breeders. The annual banquet was dedicated to the memory of Jesse G. Balmer, a well-known Guernsey breeder who died this fall. Quarryville breeders Scott and Elsie Wolff were recognized for their blue-ribbon winners during the National Guernsey Show in Harrisburg. Production accolades went to Francis and Ethel Kirk of Peach Bottom for high herd for milk. The FARMSTEDI | Attn. P.E. Hess C BUTLERJ9 m . Bo* 337. Oxford.
