Dr. W. J. Thompson says. He says that's about the same number as last year but that new regulations should decrease the incidence. Dr. Thompson advised livestock owners to have additions to their herds blood tested before they bring them home, and again in 30 days. Livestock dealers' premises now must be registered with Agriculture Canada in a further step to control brucellosis in Canadian cattle herds, Ariculture Minister Eugene Whelen has decided. Livestock dealers are also required to--keep records of the movement of cattle on and off their registered premises under amendments to Agriculture Canada's Animal Contagious A good supply of cattle traded actively at the Brussels Stockyards Friday.

According to average Canadian consumption, it's estimated that dairy foods contribute 76% of the total calcium consumed daily, 41% of the riboflavin, 24% of the protein, and 12% of the vitamin A. Therefore, their importance in the diet cannot ..be ignored. Canada's Food Guide recommends 21/2 cups for children up to about 11 years of age, 4 cups for adolescents, 11/2 cups for adults and 4 cups for pregnant and nursing mothers. Anyone following these recommendations satisfies many of his or her nutrient needs. The transformation of milk into milk products has some effect on • nutritive value. However, the mandatory addition of vitamins A and D to partially skimined and skim milk in Canada now replaces the lost vitamins. Evaporated milk too; is now enriched with vitamins A ; C and D. As for UHT (Ultra High Teniperature) milk, it compares favorably to pasteurized milk in nutritive value Diseases Regulations which became effective last month. "Brucellosis is usually introduced to a herd when an infected animal is purchased. But until now, many dealers did not have records to provide Agriculture Canada's`-Health of Animals Branch with the name and address of the seller so the herd of origin could be determined," Mr. Whelan said. With the amendments, all cattle eligible to be tested for brucellosis Will require a negative test within 30 days prior to being brought to a dealer's registered premises. These animals will be identified by a Health of Animals Branch eartag put on when the blood samples are collected for the test and before the animal reaches the dealer's premises. The livestock dealer's records will identify each animal by eartag.

Brucellosis testing at auction barns and stockyards will continue under the Health of Animals Branch regular testing program. In addition, a negative brucellosis test within the previous 30 days of cattle being moved interprovincially can be required under the amendments. "We have been very concerned that outbreaks of b rucellosis have occurred as the result of cattle being moved from one province to another.This step should stop this from happening again," Mr. Whelan said. "When brucellosis is identified in a•herd, the Health of Animals Branch conducts a thorough epidemiological investigation. These amendments are designed to make the investigation easier and to protect herd owners in every way possible," Mr. Whelan said. Blood tests for brucellosis must be done by a Health of Animals Branch veterinarian, inspector, or , an accredited veterinarian. Those cattle not requiring a test are calves under six months of age, spayed heifers, steers, or female ' cattle which are accompanied by a certificate proving they were born within the previous two years and were vaccinated against brucellosis between three and nine months of age.
