Seaforth Supply & Fuel "Where The Best Costs No More" RESULTS OF VACCINATION AT AGASSIZ DOGS Two specimens of an' unfamiliar tick discovered in Toronto, Mont- real 'and other.. 'parts of Eastern Canada recently have been identi fied by Dr. 0. R. Twinn, Division I of Entomology, Science Service Do- minion. Department' of Agriculture, as the brown dog tick. The discov- ery is an interesting one, says Dr. Twinn, because the species in Cana- da has been recorded only in a few places. The brown dog tick is an Old World species which established itself in the southern States, and is now spreading northwards. The -normal host is dogs and these animals and their surroundings may become heavily infested. A particu- larly troublesome feature is that the various life stages- of the tick inay become established in homes where infested dogs are kept. In other words, this _tick is a domestic pest. Where prevalent, the ticks may occur in great numbers around base- boards, window and door casings, curtains, and furniture. A favourite hiding place is also under the edges of rugs. In the United States, DDT has been successfully used in controll- ing this species. Infested dogs should be dusted with 10 per cent DDT powder or washed with water containg' one per cent of DDT. as a wettable powder. To rid the ticks 1 from houses, all possible hiding places should be sprayed with a 5 per residual spray, or a 10 per cent dust may be used, blowing it 'into. cracks, crevices and other places. Particular attention should be given to the treatment of dog kennels and other places where dogs sleep. A11 heifer calves raised on the Dominion Experimental Farm, Agas- siz, B.C., during the past five years have been vaccinated against abor-; tion with strain 9 vaccine supplied; by the Dominion Animal Research Institute, Hull, Que. The results', have been very encouraging, says W. H. Hicks,, Superintendent at the Farm. At present there are only six- teen females in the herd over five, years of age that have not been treated, forty younger ones that have been vaccinated, with five baby calves still too young. A regular blood test program has' been carried out in conjunction withi the vaccination. The entire herd was tested six times a year up to and in- cluding 1944, but since then four] times annually was deemed suffici- ent. All, calves were negative to the blood test previous to vaccination and all were positive afterward, al- though two had tobe treated the second time. All were blood tested monthly afterward until they re- acted negatively. No heifer was bred while she was positive, but on the other hand none had to be over past the normal breeding age. The .calves were four to . eight months of age when vaccinated, with an average of six months. Some became negative four months after treatment, with the average just six months. One heifer went ten months after vaccination before becoming negative, but she was bred when twenty-one • months old and will freshen at two -and -a -half years. During the entire five years' there has not been a known abortion in the herd. and with only one excep- tion there has been no suspicious or positive reaction to the blood test - vaccinated calves of course excepted. This cow No. 416 was positive in' December, 1948, and on re -testing gave the same result, so was • slaughtered. As this cow stood fac-1 ing the door where visitors passed. by the theory is that outside contact. was the cause. Some vaccinated heifers have been sold from the herd since 1941,1 but of more than twenty retained,; all have calved normally and about an equal number all carry their : first calves now. From the results obtained, calf hood vaccination, properly; adminis-' ter'ed and especially in conjunction, with the blood test program, has definitely given much assistance in successful herd management.
