You are dealing with a disease that will spread throughout your
herd if you do not take proper means to separate the affected from the
well ones.
What to Do Against Tuberculous Milk.
I should like to know what could be done with a dairy where cows are
dying with tuberculosis and the owner knows, but is selling the milk.
The case should be reported to F. W. Andreason, Secretary of the State
Dairy Bureau, at San Francisco, for investigation by an inspector. If
conditions are found as represented, the sale of milk will be prevented,
as it is contrary to State law to sell milk from sick cows. County
boards of health have also authority to prevent the sale of such milk in
the county on the ground that this is a menace to the public health.
Effects of Ill-Feeding Pigs.
I have a couple of pigs, out of about 75 head farrowed last spring,
which seem to have the staggers. They are looking fairly well, feed well
on pasture and at feeding time are right there making as much noise as
the others. They run around as if they had a shot too much.
Your pigs are suffering from acute indigestion, undoubtedly due to
improper feeding. Cut down the rations, especially if they are getting
grain. Give sick pigs two tablespoonfuls of castor oil each.
Sore Eyes in Pigs.
What is the matter with young pigs when their eyes swell shut? Before
they shut they look as if there was a white milky scum over them.
