Show tage 8A, Lakeside Review, February 12, 1981 Roy Man Advice From By While the majority of a veterinarians time is devoted to controlling and treating diseases of animals, there is often a link between the health of the animal population and the health of the human population. In this case the veterinarian takes on an added role as a protector of human health when dealing with a disease that is transmissible from animals to man. Every livestock owner should be aware of the efforts under way to protect the human and animal population from Brucellosis, or Bangs as it is commonly called. Brucellosis is a bacterial infection primarily of cattle causing abortions late in gestation. These abortions create heavy financial losses for producers either by loss in milk production from aborted dairy cattle or a diminished calf crop in a beef herd. However, the real impetus for control of the disease stems from the possibility of human infection with the Brucella organism termed in human medicine as Undulant Fever. Undulant Fever does not cause abortions in humans but causes a lingering illness of high fever and body aches that is difficult to treat and very often will periodically recur. Transmission of the disease can occur via drinking milk, handling of an infected carcass, or by accidental injection or exposure to the Brucellosis vaccine. With the growing numbers of milk cows and calves being raised in the back yard for the purposes of feeding the family we have an increasing number of livestock owners who may not be aware of the Brucellosis problem or its solution. The best protection against the disease is vaccination of all DR. KEVIN Medal HILL female calves. Under a newly approved vaccination program dairy breed heifers must be vaccinated between 4 and 8 months of age; beef breed heifers between 4 and 12 months of age. Bulls or steers are not vaccinated. Proper vaccination is the best assurance that a cow will not contract the disease if exposed to an infected animal. The vaccinated animal is permanently identified with a tattoo inside the ear and an official eartag. These steps including vaccination must be done by a liscensed veterinarian. If you now own a cow and do not know if she was vaccinated as a calf, her ear can be checked for the official tattoo. A family milk cow should be checked periodically for Brucellosis, especially a cow that has not been vaccinated. The test is run on a blood sample from the cow. New state regulations will soon require that all females be blood-teste- d any time they on the farm or in a whether change ownership livestock market. This will provide greater incentive for calfhood vaccinations and strictly confine an outbreak before it has a chance to spread. It is essential that all owners of livestock large or small be aware of the hazards of Brucellosis in order to protect their family as well as their cattle from this persistent disease. Only by complete cooperation within the state, between owners, health officials, and veterinarians can we hope to reach out ultimate goal of complete eradication of Brucellosis.

McNiel Construction, with the low bid of $177,200, was awarded the bid with the understanding that a number of items in the originally bid project would be deleted. Bids on the project had been opened during last Tuesdays commission meeting, and no mention had been made concerning the deletions previous to the n w opening. The deletions were recommended by architect Larry Jansen who told the commissioners that a number of items could be eliminated to help reduce the costs on the project. Included in the deletions is the elimination of a loft area intended for storage in the new addition. Jansen told the commissioners the structure would be built so the loft area could be added at a later time. The loft area would have cost $6,106. Other deletions included the changing of the shingles from wooden to asphalt, the use of a different gauge of metal in the overhead doors, the elimination of the burglar alarm system, and the use of a different type of rock work for the outside of the addition. The total estimated savings for the county amounted to $14,685 with the deductions and will be ' subtracted from the McNiel bid AMERICAN I CANCER f.
