Dairy Service
Cattle Project
To Be Finished
All Cattle In
County Will Be
Bangs Tested

Work by members of the
Noble County Dairy Service unit
and their committees in signing
up farmers who wish to partici-
pate in having their herds tested,
is progressing rapidly. A spokes-
man for the working units said
Monday, that completion of pre-
liminary work would be accom-
plished the last week in August.
Several farmers are reported
to have inquired at the local e&
tension office concerning the
brucellosis test and the TB test
both to be conducted this fall.
Much misunderstanding is felt
to be prevailing concerning the
two herd tests.
The brucellosis test, being
made at state expense, will get
underway in late September or
early October with most of the
work being done by local veter-
inarians. 1t will not be made in
conjunction with the county
sponsored tuberculosis test,
Another factor in the bangs
test is being cleared up. Two diff
ferent and distinct methods are
used to detect brucellosis in
dairy and beef herds.
The most complete test is a
blood test. Farmers who wish to
have accredited herds must sub
NIT their animals to this test.
When the test gets underway the
veterinarian will call at the farm
and make the necessary tests.
The latest test used in detect
ing the diesase is known as the
ring" test Technicians take
samples of milk produced by a
herd and by various chemical
means can detect any signs of
herd infection that may be pres
ent. In most cases the afore-
mentioned blood test is used to
separate the infected animals
from the rest of the herd.
A "ring' test will not allow
the farmer to sell his animals for
purposes other than slaughter
but will give him the satisfaction
of knowing that his milk is safe
for family consumption.
Both tests will be offered this
year when the testing work gets
underway. The choice is being
left up to the individual farmer
by the committee workers who
are completing the sign-up.
Herd owners are asked not to
confuse the bangs test with the
TB test as it will be made later
this year. The TB test is being
made with the aid of monies ap-
propriated by the commissioners
last week. The TB test will not
be started before November.
