A3B—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 15,1984 Avian (Continued from Page Al) Originating from a single flock in the Richfield area of Juniata County, the four flocks were discovered to contain avian in fluenza antibodies during routine egg sampling conducted as a part of the ongoing surveillance program within the quarantine zone. Depopulation began on August 31, with one of the two flocks located in Willow Street, and a flock located in Paradise was destroyed on September 5. The final depopulations concluded this past week with a Shippensburg HARRISBURG - State Agriculture Secretary Penrose Hallowell, noting that plans for the 21st All- American Dairy Show are being finalized, announced that during early registration 1050 participants have signed up to compete. One of the top three national dairy circuit events, the All- American is slated Sept. 24-28 at the Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg.

The Holstein All-American has 45 entries; the Brown Swiss In vitational, 24 entries; and the Ayrshire In vitational, 20 entries. Hallowell reports that this is the first Ayrshire sale since 1975. This year the All- American is hostiong three national shows the Eastern National Brown Swiss Show, the National Guernsey Show and the Eastern National Holstein Show in addition to the Pennsylvania All-Ame rican Ayrshire, Jersey and Milking Shorthorn Competitions.

Though the presence of an tibodies means only that the birds had contracted the vims sometime in the past, USDA maintains that eradication of sero-positive birds is necessary insurance against further outbreaks. “We feel very strongly that birds with antibodies represent a potential reservoir of reinfection,” said Adams, adding that USDA’s policy is “based on the best scientific opinions we could gather.” The policy has resulted in the depopulation of two million birds in about 50 Pennsylvania flocks.
