Mr, and Mrs. Robert Hamilton and John and Mr and Mrs Rob - Brucellosis Check Almost Complete The program of brucellosis testing of cattle in Huron county is almost complete, Dr. J. C. Mac- Lennan, of the Seaforth office of the health of animals division of the Dominion Department of Ag- rieuiture, sald on Tuesday. Some details remain to be completed, and no statistics have been issued yet. When certification is received from the Department of Agricul- ture, Huron amity will be one of the relatively few Canadian counties to be certified as suffic- iently free of brucellosis to per- mit, export of dairy and beef Cat - Ile to foreign countries. Brliaellosis is a highly com- municable disease •of dairy cat- tle, which causes premature in. fectious birth of calves. The di. sease can be communicated to human beings through consump- tion pf the infected cow's milk. The human reaction is an undul- ant fever. Certification of Perth county was made last week after a Per- iod of testing since May,*1960, The figures indicate progress of each of the repeated Perth county tests. ' In the original test, 136,225 head of cattle in 4,339 Perth county herds were checked for any signs of the dread disease. Of these, 1,195 reactors were found in 532 nerds. All of the 1,195 cattle were destroyed, In each case, these cattle were isolated, and then shipped to government -inspected plants for slaughter. While the disease is incurable, and makes live birth of calves to infected cattle impossible, it sel- dom affects the food value of the beef. Officials commented that not more than 12 of the 1,195 cattle destroyed would be rejected for beef by government inspectors. The farmers who awn the dis- eased cattle are then compensat- ed for the slaughtered cattle at their beef value. Total compeu., sation paid for these cattle in Perth was $34,330. In the second test, the 532 herds previously found to con- tain infected cattle were recheck- ed. This test revealed 149 react- ors in only 77 herds, The compensation paid to the farmer owners of these cattle totaled $11,263. Of the 532 herds found to bel infected in the original test, 488 have since been given a clean bill of health by passing two ad- ditional tests an all of the cattle in each herd. It was explained that tests are continuing on all of the cattle in- cluded in the 44 remaining Perth County herds, in an effort to rid the county completely of the di- sease. With the certification of Perth County as a brucellosis -free area, cattlemen are free to export their beef to markets anywhere in the world. Previous to the certification being issued, export was allowed from only slightly more than 300 herds of cattle in Perth County. These cattle were contained in "listed herds". In each case the owner had his herd tested for brucellosis at least once a year by a government -recognized in- spector. The United States provides the principal market for export- ed Canadian cattle, but a definite increase has been noted in the number of cattle shipped from Canada to Cuba and Mexico, DUBLIN PETER KRAUSKOPF The death occurred Aug. 2nd in St. Josephs Hospital, London, of Peter Krauskopf, former farm- er of Hibbert Twp., following several month's illness.
