Recent inauguration Of the first

IN Sheep
By J. w. Stafford, D.V.M.

THOSE SHEEP SURE ate some
thing that didn't agree with thern.''
They were either on heavy ra-
ton or ate moldy hay or fed on too
much silage. They go plumb loco. .
Some of them just stand off by them
selves as if they didn't care whether
school kept or not. Some stand and
push against wall or post by the
hour. There is another one leaning
against post.
Then some of them start walking in
circles. They bend their head around to
one side and start walking They keep
on walking until they die in three or
four days. They are quite a sight, one
with wad of food in its mouth for
two or three days, another with one
ear and one eyelid dropped down, still
another will get all excited for no rea-
son at all.
In about three or four days the af-
fected sheep can't get up. After while
it will get on its side and may show a
rowing motion with its legs. The sheep
may live three to seven days. About
100 per cent of the sick ones die If not
treated early. About 1 to 20 per cent
of the flock can get it.
What is it? IF they act like this you
should be very suspicious of 1isteriosis
most everyone calls the disease "cir-
cling disease It's a good idea to get
veterinarian on the job as soon as
possible, because other conditions may
appear very similar.
'sCircling disease as described here
is not caused by moldy hay or silage.
The cause is a microorganism called
Listeria monOcytOgenes. It affects the
brain tissue, thereby producing the
central nervous symptoms. Veterinar-
ians like to get a laboratory confirrna-
ton by having the nicroorganisn iso-
lated and identified.
All sick animals should be isolated
from the healthy. 1t is essential that
good nursing care be given to the af-
fected sheep. At the present there is
no vaccine to protect the non-affected.
