action and the disease reaction. In
commercial herds this makes no diff
ference. In purebred herds the vac-
cine should be administered by a
veterinarian, for he can furnish a
certificate of vaccination that will
permit the sale of vaccinated heifers
while they are still reacting to the
blood test.
Many states permit the importa-
ton of recently vaccinated heifers,
still sreacting," if certified as "offi-
cially vaccinated." Brucella vaccine
is very perishable, and many of the
reported failures of the vaccine to
provide immunity have been due to
the use of old or deteriorated vac
cine.

Fall ~Freshening Brings
Greater Net Profit

DAIRY FARMERS who have a
good supply of legume hay for win
ter and have fairly good housing
facilities for their dairy herd will
generally have a greater net profit
if they have their cows freshen in
the late fall or early winter. There
are several reasons why fall freshen-
ing under favorable conditions gives
the greatest returns:
L.. The dairyman has more time in
winter to devote to the care and
management of their herds.
2. Late fall and early winter fresh
cows receive a second production
boost when turned out on grass in
the spring.
3. The average yearly production
per COW is usually higher for late
fall and winter fresh COW under
favorable conditions.
4. Less difficulty is experienced in
raising good calves when good barns
are available. Late spring and early
summer calves frequently do poorly
on lush pasture grass.
S. The price paid for milk and
cream is generally higher in the late
fall and winter.

old and well known disease
times called 'fistulo," "fissolo" or
even 'thislelow," a huge abscess To-
Gated near the top of the withers,
often obstinate, difficult to treat and
the subject of more "cock-eyed"
methods of treatment than any all
ment Of man or beast.
Though the discovery that this is
due to infection by the brucella or
ganism has not made fistula more
easily treated, it has answered many
questions that have been bothering
veterinarians for years. Also, when
we see a case or two of fistula on
a ranch, we are reasonably certain
that brucellosis will be found among
the cattle on the premises.
Brucellosis of swine is not at all
prevalent in Montana. The type, or
strain of brueel1a that causes the
disease in hogs is almost a distinct
disease, for it does not result from
exposure to infected cattle, and ap-
parently only spreads from one pig
to another. 1t causes sows to abort
their pigs, but they usually abort
but once, though remaining infected
for some years afterward. It's prin-
cipal Importance, aside from the loss
of pigs, is the danger to man, nearly
one-half of the undulant fever cases
in nan being traceable to handling
infected hogs or hog ~carcasses. Vac
cines have not been used success
fully in swine brucellosis, and the
control of this infection lies in the
blood test and the slaughter of re-
actor hogs.
B~rucellosis of goats, or Malta few
er, has never established itself in
this country to any extent, only a
few isolated infected herds having
been found. 1t is very common in
Asia and in the general area of
southern Europe and northern
Africa. It's principal importance is as
a source of undulant fever in man,
directly traceable to drinking milk
from infected goats.
Brucellosis in man, or undulant
fever, is being diagnosed more fire.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-08-01

quently each year. Whether there
+ more cases now than in former
years is debatable, but certainly
cases are being recognized. 1t
is a chronic, long drawn out affair,
with attacks of intermittent fever,
headache. backache, the patient feel
ing alternately better and worse for
a month to six months. Influenza,
malaria, typhoid fever, tuberculosis,
and other diseases of man have been
confused with undulant fever, a
great many cases being very obscure
and requiring a great deal of OBJ
servation and detailed laboratory
work before a diagnosis can be ar
rived at.
1t is not easy to say, in human
brucellosis cases, just where the in
lection originated. A large number
of cases occur among butchers and
others handling hogs and pork and
pork products, as a contact or occu-
pational infection, while other cases
are traceable to the use of raw milk
from infected cows.
Undulant fever is more common
in men than in women, more COM
mon on farms than in cities, and
much more common in the cities of
the middle west than the cities of
the east. 1t practically never occurs
among people, anywhere, without an
almost daily contact with animals
or animal products. The general idea
that undulant fever is nearly always
the result of drinking milk from
infected cows, is not borne out by
public health records, which indi-
cate that approximately half of the
cases are caused by contact infection
from handling infected cattle or hogs.
Our old acquaintance, contagious
abortion, has in the last Is years,
turned out to be a much more COM
pick problem than we thought. At
fecting cattle, hogs, horses and man,
brucellosis is a national problem
Since tuberculosis in cattle has been
practically driven out, and its
chances of coming back grow SLIM
mer each year, the animal and hui
man health authorities are now lay
ing plans for a nationwide drive
against brucellosis. Committees are
meeting, plans are being formulated,
the old vaccine is being improved
and new vaccines being developed.
Some day soon we will see all the
states working On a uniform drive
against this public enemy, and after
awhile the Bangs reactor" will be
as scarce as the 'T. B. ~reactor" is

Decided Progress

This marks a decided step in prog
ress in brucellosis control as COM
pared to the program of some years
ago, when we tested a herd two or
three times a year, slaughtered the
reactors and repeated this for two
or three years in some of the
ly infected herds. We now recon-
mend the use of the vaccine in all
replacement heifer calves, at 6 to
8 months of age, in both clean and
infected herds, as desirable in build
ing herds that are immune or very
resistant to brucella. infection. We
have seen many previously unprofit-
able herds consistently maintain a
calf crop of over go percent after
the use of the vaccine for three or
four years, with a marked improve
ment after the second year.
The principal drawback to the
use of the vaccine is that vaccinated
calves, for 8 to 10 months after vac
cination, will react to the blood test,
and that no one can tell the diff
ference between the vaccination e

The BrucellOsis Problem
This Disease Affects Man as Wei as Livestock
By DIR. HOWARD WEIGH
Veterinary Department
BY DIR. HOWARD WEIGH

THIS DISEASE, originally called
contagious abortion, later infectious
abortion, more recently, Bangs di-
sease, has been considered until the
last few years as a disease of cattle
only. With the recent knowledge
that the same disease affects not
only cattle, but hogs, horses, goats
and occasionally man, we prefer the
term brucellosis, taken from the
name of the causative organism,
brucella, when referring to the di-
sease in general.
We recognize three strains, or
types of brucellosis as affecting cat
tie, hogs and goats, and caused by
three types or strains of brucella:
Brucella abortus, producing abortion
in cattle, brucella suis, producing
abortion in hogs and brucella NELL
tensis, causing Malta fever in goats.
Horses are affected principally by
the cattle strain, and man by the
infection from either cattle, hogs or
goats.
General Livestock Problem
Thus brucellosis, rs years ago con-
sidered to be solely a problem of
cattle and affecting cattle reproduc-
ton, is now recognized as a general
livestock problem with a very def
mite mar health angle and occupying
the No. l spot in the important di-
seases of livestock.
Brucellosis of cattle, like tubercu-
losis in cattle, is not easily recog-
nized; a cow exhibits no definite
symptoms, often nothing at all to
excite suspicion. Even the act of
abortion is frequently due to causes
other than disease. Brucellosis, in a
herd of cattle however, may be more
readily suspected than in a single
COW. There may be a few abortions,
some cases of retained afterbirth,
more sterile or dry cows than there
should be, a few calves that are born
dead or too weak to live long, all
this adding up to about 20 to 80
percent less calves branded than
there should have been.
Commercial beef herds are hit by
this calf shortage; dairy herds are
hurt most by a shortage of milk, the
indirect result of a low calf crop,
but the breeder of purebred cattle
breads most the sterility of some of
his best COWS. 1t doesn't brighten
the life of such a breeder to have to
sell a $4,000 breeding cow for 5000
as a beef COW. He can stand an oc-
%casional abortion or two, for the cow
will eventually produce a string of
calves that will show a good profit,
but permanent sterility in several of
his top cows really sets him back.
The disease in a herd varies great
ly in severity, with periods Of two
or three years of d~iscouraging losses
of calves, followed by a similar
period in which the disease seems to
have disappeared. Abortions are al
ways more prevalent among the first
and second calf heifers, and very in
frequent among the older COWS.
Dozens of so-called cures have been
developed, tried out and found in
effective.
Control Through Blood Test
The control of brucellosis in q
herd centers around the blood test
C,roa oho1,4 1Oon urbo- Al 4oc+ oo-r
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-08-01

but a sample of blood from a sus-
pected COW will give the correct
diagnosis when handled by any COM
petent veterinarian or laboratory
worker. No way in which the COW
is handled, fed, managed OF mis-
managed makes any difference. If
the COW has been infected with
brucellosis for a month or longer,
the blood test will show it.
There is just one exception. If a
COW has recently been infected, that
is within a few months, the blood
may not react to the test for three
or four weeks after calving or after
abortion, as the case may be. This
delay in reaction may occur in pos
sibly 10 percent of such cases. Hav-
ing once exhibited a complete re-
action to the blood test, the cow will
continue to show a reaction at any
time thereafter for many years. A
very few COWS may lose this reaction
gradually and may be called recov-
cred cases, but this occurs so rarely
that it cannot be figured on in con-
trolling the disease.
In 1892 a vaccine was developed
that has materially changed our
plans for the control of brucellosis
in cattle. 1t is not a perfect product,
affording immunity to infection in
about 95 percent of vaccinated heifer
calves, but this immunity wears thin
and may be lost in five or six years.
1t has some drawbacks, but by COM
bining this vaccine with the use of
the blood test, we can now. eradicate
brucellosis from a herd of cattle in
n or two years, with a minimum
of loss to the In fact the
systematic use of the vaccine on
replacement heifers, coupled with
careful culling of the older COWS each
year, has brought about a high calf
production without the loss of any
desirable cows.
In commercial beef herds, where
the value of a cow as a breeder is
practically the same as her beef
value, n blood test conducted in
the fall, the shipment of all reactor
cows, the vaccination of the heifer
calves and the institution of a short
breeding season will control all
losses from the disease in one year
and result in the eradication of the
disease by the end of three or four
years.

Control Through Blood Test

The control of brucellosis in a
herd centers around the blood test.
Since about 1920, when the test came
into general use, constant improve
ment in technique and in the in
depreciation of results of the test
have made it almost infallible.
