Show Test For Tuberculosis. Answer by Dr. Frcdcndk, A. C. U. The method for determining whether or not a cow has tuberculosis tubercu-losis is to apply the tuberculin test. Precaution should be taken so that the animal is kept under absolutely normal conditions, similar to those she has been kept under for some time previous. The temperatures j re then taken for one day. At ten o'clock that night she is inoculated with a certain amount of tuberculin as directed on the bottle, the amount depending upon the company manufacturing manu-facturing it. The final temperatures arc taken eight hours afterwards and where there is a rise of one and one i half degrees or more than of the day previous and there is no other cause for a rise in temperature, wc consider consid-er the animal tubercular. This test should only be applied by one who has had some experience as it is probable pro-bable that a mistake will be made. The tuberculin that is used for injecting in-jecting under the skin can be procured pro-cured at most drug stores or from the State Board of Health . |
