Excerpt from Second Annual Announcement of the New York State School of Agriculture, at Alfred University, Alfred, N. Y: For School Year 1910-1911In order to keep a herd free from tuberculosis it is necessary to test out and dispose of, or quarantine all tubercular animals. The test must be repeated at least once a year. No animal should be introduced into the herd without a guarantee that it is free from disease. If bought without such a guarantee it should never be put with the herd until it has been tested and found free. Feed calves and hogs only pasteurized skim milk or better, have a separator on the farm and feed them what you know to be pure and uninfected. Besides taking pains to prevent the dissemination of the germs, means must be taken to ih crease the resisting power of the animals and also to furnish conditions unfavor able to the life of the germ.The best means of securing both of these results, is plenty of sunlight and fresh air. No barn should be built without making provision for a large amount of sunlight and good ventilation. It is in the dark, foul aired and filthy barns where the disease spreads so rapidly. Barns should be frequently cleaned and disinfected and always very thoroughly after a tubercular animal has been removed. If these precautions are observed there is no danger but that a herd may be kept free from tuberculosis.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
