CONTROLLING DISEASE
CALVING IN THE HERD Contagious abortion is not difficult to control, Dr. Robert Graham stated recently at the meeting o£ the Indiana Dairymen’s Association at Purdue. Before attempting to carry out eradication plans, the dairyman should learn how the disease is spread. Correct understanding of the nature of the disease, the importance of the abortion tdst, segregation of the infected animals, and clean stables and clean yards are necessary In control of the disease.
If the manager or owner of the herd is not aware of the value of these sanitary measures, it Is next to impossible for him to carry out a good programme. The local veterinarian assisted by the laboratory is able to give the dairymen assistance that will get results. Beautiful words describing maybe cures are understood by veterinarians as of no value. They know that the surest methods of solution are testing and carrying out a good system of sanitation in the herd. The veterinarians also know that some cows that calve normally may be spreaders of the disease.
