brucellosis last year, according to
the American Foundation for Ani
mal Health, and the increase in the
incidence of the disease practically
doubled in the last five years.
Continued testing and retesting of
our cattle herds is the mainstay of
the nation's fight to
eradicate this cost
ly problem, as
shown by the sharp
increase it has
made during the
time when there,

able to carry on with the testing
program. Altogether too many
farmers, in recent years, have
come to look upon vaccination as
an easy answer to brucellosis con
trol. Vaccination is highly desir
able, but it should always be looked
upon as an important adjunct, not
a replacement of the testing pro
gram.
With the recent return of thou
sands of veterinarians from military
service, livestock health authorities
have expressed hope that the sharp
wartime upswing in cattle brucel
losis may be checked in the early
future.
