Bangs Disease

Peery Requests
Cooperation,

BY JOHN STICK

The Prince Edward county
wide cattle testing program, de-
signed as a vital link to the
state chain seeking the ellmi-
nation of Bangs Disease, or
brucellosis. is to start immedi-
ately.
Or. Ralph E Ayers. OF the
State Veterinary Division. De
partment of Health, will perform
the tests beyond the Farmville
area farms visited by DR.. Wilson
W. Taylor, local veterinarian,
who is cooperating also.
Dudley L. Peery, Prince Ed
ward county agent, said today
that DR.. Ayers will send notifi-
cation to farms as to the date
and time of his visit. In the inter-
est of a prompt and successful
effort, Peery requested farmers
to be prepared on the day of
such visits by the state veterin-
arian.
Have Cattle Up
Cattle owners, whether their
herds number one or 100, should
have all beef or milk COWS, as
well as milk or beef heifers
eight months old or over en-
closed at the time of the visit.
The testing consists of the
bleeding of the cows and heiferS
whic is performed without
charge to owners. At the same
visit, and also without charge,
the veterinarian will also vacci-
nate calves against the disease.
This will be done only if the
owners wish, and for all heifer
calves between the ages of four
and eight months.
1t is too late for vaccination of
calves after that age period
passes. since innsculation then is
not effective, Peery pointed out.
Undulant Fever
All counties in Virginia have
undergone the same compulsory
procedure, Oh will have when the
eradication prOgr a m is COM
pleted. In the vast program, the
State seeks the elimination of the
disease. Bangs Disease is trans
mitted to humans as uEdulant
fever through the milk of dis
eased COWS. The cows afflicted
very often abort their calves,
causinb serious looses in the
propagation OF animals ard farm
income.
Brucellosis can spread among
the animals, and there are cases
on record where whole herds
