Facial Eczema
The Department of Agriculture issues a warning that the dry summer which is being experienced in most districts of the North Island has resulted in pasture drying off to an unusual extent, and the condition of paddocks, especially in the Waikato and South Auckland districts., is now very similar to that which preceded the severe outbreak of facial eczema in 1938. In view of the very severe loss: which the. disease can cause, stock owners should immediately make provision for preventive measures which must be taken promptly if they are to be effective. The important thing to remember is that facial eczema is caused by a poison which develops in the rapidly growing pasture which comes away during the first two or three weeks after rain. The consumption of this must, be reduced to an absolute minimum.
