Acute indigestion in ruminants 'Cattle or sheep suffer acute in- digestion when their rations are suddenly changed from high roughage content to high grain content. "The animals become ill and refuse to eat their daily ration," says J. R. • Seoane, an animal nutritionist at Agriculture Can- ada's Research Station in Fred- ericton, N.B. The , condition is probably caused by an increase` of lactic acid in the rumen, the largest of the animals' four stomachs, he says. It is a condition commonly mown as:grain engorgement, acute indigestion of lactic acido tJ gajr elute i the;rt en. foedeatet by t e:atli- n ," Dr. Seoane says. These thicr'oorganiismg`'attack the feed particles and form proteins and an energy source for the animal. "But there are other com pounds formed, and one of them is lactic acid." A sudden change iti the animals' diet from high roughage " rations to high grain rations, causes a change in the microorganisms in the rumen. As a result, more lactic acid is pro- duced, in the rumen. "This concentration of lactic BETTER ENGLISH By D. C.

The lactic acid is absorbed into the blood, increasing its acidity. "At this point the animals be- come inactive and refuse to eat. If the condition is severe, the ani- mal may die within 24 hours." One way of avoiding grain en- gorgement is to. adapt the ani- mals gradually to high grain • feedstuffs. "The amount of roughage fed should . be de- creased*and the - grain increased by gradual , amounts every day untiLthe animal is eatmg the de- -intuit'- =grain: IS ` usually takes three weeks," Dr. Seoane says. During the period of adapta- tion, the use of about three per cent baking soda also helps pre- vent acidosis or decreases the severity of the disease. ; , "It also helps to increase the frequency of feeding from two. to three times a day. The gradual change in the ration givesthe microorganisms enough time to adapt to the higher levels of grain in the feed." Mineral oils should be given to ruminants suffering from acute indigestion to help decrease ab- sorption in the rumen. Grain feeding should be discontinued while the animal is sick and only medium -quality hay should be offered. "Once the anintal Domes ale>r AM 'looks healthY; grain an be added to the ration, with small daily increases for a three-week period." T ' HEALTH Pipe and cigar smoking can damage health, too by David Woods Cigarette smoking has been linked to lung cancer, heart disease, enlaphy- setua and a whole host of respiratory. and other problems. In Canada, awl elsewhere, television advertising of cigarettes is banned, and cigarette packages carry a warning that their contents are dangerous. Pipes and cigars, on the other hand, appear to have escaped these indictments and restrictions airoet completely. Does this mean that tobacco smoked in these forms is harmless? Not at all,. says Dr. Norman Delarue, a Toronto surgeon and a member of the steering committee; of the recently formed Canadi Council on Smoking and Health. The cigarette smoker who switches to cigars or a pipe has established a smoking pattern, says Dr. Delarue, that makes him liable to inhale the smoke from either. And that's just as dangerous as cigarette smoke. Even for pipe and cigar smokers who don't inhale, some of the smoke, inevitably, is going to wind up in the bronchial and nasal pas- sages — and even in the lungs. Admittedly, that's not quite the same as taking in the deep breaths of concentrated smoke that the in- haling cigarette smoker takes; and it can also be said, in•defence of pipes and cigars, that the smoke they produce burns at • lower tempera', tures and comes from tobacco that is likely to"be less impregnated with chemicals. Moreover, it's only to- bacco that's smoked -- not paper. Against that, it must be recorded that cigars and pipes have been clearly implicated in various can- cers, notably of the throat and lip, and in a number of respiratory problems. The clear fact, as Dr. Delarue sees it, is that taking smoke into the body is obviously not going to do any good — and may well do considerable harm. While others may argue that pipes or cigars represent an alternative for the man who must smoke some- thing, they offer no such option to women (ekcept in such tolerant countries as Denmark where women do smoke cigars) . Perhaps this is because pipes, at ;least, are such noxious, messy, graceless and anti- social instruments that no self- respecting woman would be caught dead with one. It seems rather odd that pipe and cigar smoking continues to enjoy social respectability while cigarettes are becoming increasingly ostra- cized. Perhaps, in considering the dan- gers of smoking, we should be less kind to the pipe and the cigar, con- stdet`in . them s, F ing lottiOs;:I dal t "a" otrstorii loathstsrne to •the" eye, hateful to the 'nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs, and in the black stinking fume thereof, nearest OH/ h i i* Stygian Matt O t OW Pit bottom)`+ i e"4 Now if WIN pkt.tile Olt tobacca p ktgn,g E $ A pillow being h d ter ov► A* moth 00* titian IA M>I, dieted until , . , vra* thlIk 00 110 to * bow the* bene on * red room dow and Ales, t - b ot thei M yilA'" .--• 00.4141* MVO nit SA *pa 1161.1106 SioSulmot to SOW Out WO& Sat VOW *mot ossies* Iii) in* OW* Odin osat Potwolos SOW $1.0 must* is ewoveveisi sesersii.
