THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1949 age Mastitis By Hugh McPhail District Agriculturist Mastitis takes a very hevy toll from the dairymen. Very few herds are completely free from this dis- ease. One man with a small dairy herd recently told me he was going to give up the fight to eliminate. or control it in his herd, and was going to dispose of the entire herd. In Farm Notes from our Exten- sion Service dated June 3, the fol- lowing article, indicates very ener- getic and effective measures are being undertaken to control this disease and also Bangs, in some dis- tricts. “An aggressive “program similar to that of the Edmonton Milk shed to fight mastitis and brucellosis has been adopted by a large number of dairymen in the Linden, Swalwell and Sunnyslope area, the home of the largest cheese factory in Wes-) tern Canada. This is one of the most concentrated dairy districts in Al- berta and the dairymen are de- termined to build up as many dis- ease-free herds as possible. The re- sult will be more milk of higher) quality through controlling mastitis, and a safer milk? too. since it causes Undulant Fever. Heading the com- mittee for promotion of the pro- gram in the area is Claude Webb. a prominent Holstein breeder at Swalwell. Dr. E. E. ‘Ballantyne. Director of | Veterinary Services and. R.

Any steps which he can take to eliminate udder injuries or prevent the spread of infection will be amply repaid by increased profits.

The use of planes, wolf hounds, etc., have been quite effective in open country. In bush-lands P they cannot do much.
