Mr. Johnson is responsible re-sponsible for the maintenance of state highways in the five county area of Millard, Beaver, Iron, Washington Wash-ington and part of Juab.

County Agent Soys: Range Brucellosis Test The new method for testing cattle is resulting in major savings to beef producers In their efforts to eradicate brucellosis, an Important livestock disease, according to Dr. D. W. Thomas, Extension veterinarian. veterina-rian. The method is based on use of a screening-type blood test of market mar-ket animals on the way to or during slaughter. Animals tested each year must equal 5 percent of all animals in the area, he said. Another important im-portant requirement is that owners vaccinate at least 90 percent of all eligible calves each year. Utah cattlemen need to increase their efforts to keep 90 of our young stock vaccinated. A modified-certified area. Dr. Thomas explains, is one in which no more than one percent of the cattle or 5 percent of the herds are affected with brucellosis. Certification Certifica-tion is for three years. Continuous testing makes recertification possible, possi-ble, but for beef producers it has meant rounding up at least a fifth of all herds in the certified area every three years. Much of this i; eliminated under the new method. The reduction in ranch testing saves the majority of beef producers pro-ducers the expense and labor of handling cattle. Dr. Thomas added. since all herds in an area may be included in this continuous screen-testing screen-testing program, any infection is likely to he detected before it has an opportunity to srread. |
