in hay lofts. Many Of the shells
he collected on this two
month trip were sent to Har-

excelled in marine zoology.
In fact. at Harvard. he tired
of facing picked mollusks in

explore the coral reefs across

Control MaStitiS For
Dairy Efficiency


Continuous spread of mastitis,
or inflammation Of the udder, re-
suits each year in enormous losses
to dairymen.
DR.. F. NJ. Sacchi, Of the Mary
land Live Stock Sanitary Service,
says more effective control Of this
condition would 60 a long way to-
ward improving the efficiency Of
the dairy industry and helping in
dividual dairymen to meet today's
competitive standards.
DR.. Sacchi is in charge Of mas
tits control and research activities
conducted by the Live Stock SAM
tary Service.
The veterinarian advises dairy
men that a good source of infor-
nation of mastitis is a recently re-
vised farmers bulletin by the L. S.
Department of Agriculture, en-
titled "Udder Diseases of Dairy
Cows"
The many causes of mastitis,
methods of prevention and treat
ment, and the relation between
general good management of dairy
cows and udder health are
described in the bulletin Mastitis
is cited as one Of the chief causes
for the heavy turnover in dairy
herds. Even with mild chronic
mastitis, cows cannot produce as
much milk as they could other
wise. As the disease becomes more
acute, production may decrease as
much as 25 percent or more, and
early disposal of the animal may
be necessary
Fortunately most bacterial found
in mastitis are harmless to people
and, when milk is properly pas
teurized, danger to public health
is eliminated. "Mastitis organisms
are a threat chiefly to the profits
Of the producer" says DR.. Sacchi,
but that is reason enough to con
troll them"
Nutrition has somewhat linn
tied effect ON development Of mas
tits in COWS. Some more direct
causes listed in the bulletin are
exposure to cold on wet weather;
sudden changes Of temperature;
blows, kicks, bruises, or abrasions
on the udder; wounds of the teats,
infrequent, irregular, or incom-
plete milking; introduction of con-
taminated, foreign material into the
teat canal; and any disturbance
of the animals health. Manage
ment practices aimed at preventing
the development Of udder diseases
in dairy herds are described in the
bulletin, which also gives a list of
dos and don'ts in mastitis control.

tin No. 1922, Udder Diseases of
