Question :-Have there been • any
,official ewperinnents conducted to de-
totikine the'value of the Bang sgstem
of tiibercuiosis control in cattle? ,
_
1 Answer :-The Central Experi-
mental Farm at Ottawa carried on a
segregated herd of reacting cattle for
about fiVe years. An account of the
experience is containedan the Inthrim
Report of the Dominion A.nimal Ties-
bandman for the year eliding March
31, '1922, In December, 1016, a num-
ber of the best cows of the main dairy
herd that reacted to 'the tuberculin
test were remoVed to a barn on an -
adjoining f.ann. Daring the follow-
g,four years other reatthrs• of high
type were added to the' herd. The
'Cattle were houeed' and cared for in,
-practically/ the same merino: asVthe
main herd at the Farm.. As the calves
in the segregated, herd ,were born theY
were -removed to the roain barn and
many of them- saved for future use.
Out of 80 calves born 44 healthy speei-
mens have been saved. Twenty-six
of this -Ill -Miter have been retained in
the breeding herd and 18 sold; From
time to time the cows in the Bang
herd- were, slaughtered and examined.
There was a decided jack of uniforni-
ity in the conditions found. Animals
long -in the herd continued profitable
Milk producers . and, when killed,
"showed in ' some cases only ' slight
triices of.- the disease. With others
the disease progressed at a rapid rate.
The conclusions \reached bY the Farm
officials are that:the practicability of
adopting 'the Bang system depends
even, whether the- valbe of the pro-
geny front the segregated colas would
justify the .
ta'a expense of Ipain-
tabling the second herd,: If at any;
time the Bang herd Would beejustified.1
,it would be with the -',entry of the herdl

expenses of a segregated herd are un- I
avoidably high. Charging the ex-
penses,of feed, bedding, rent, and labor
against the value of the milh, calves,
and manure, in the Central Farm ex-
