"Sterility and delayed breed ing have been estimated to cost dairymen in the United States in excess of $200 million dol lars each year," the Foundation said. "Approximately five per cent of all milking cows have to be sold each year because they fail to breed. About another 30 percent fail to conceive easily, resulting in additional losses in income, time and value of the stock. "When losses or delays in breeding of beef, sheep and swine are added to the losses experienced in dairy cows, the. total amount is very large." Recommendations suggested to aid in fighting sterility and breeding failure include, accur ate breeding records, use of proven feeding, breeding and management practices, and con tinued consultation with a vet erinarian to correct the disease problems associated with breed ing failures. Livestock Maggots Require Immediate Aid, Experts Claim LINCOLN Immediate at tention should be given to all wounds suffered by livestock in order to prevent maggot in festation, reminds Dr. O. D. Grace, extension animal hygi enist at the University of Ne braska. After the wound is properly cleansed apply a fly repellent. If maggots already are pres ent, a remedy such as EQ-335 or one containing 3 per cent to 5 per cent lindane with a suit able emulsifier to permit mix ing with wounds fluids will kill the larva and protect against a re-infestation, Dr. Grace says. These solutions can -be applied with a small soft brush which will reach all pockets of the wound. Sheepmen will find these in secticides suitable for elimin ation of wool maggots. Or they may prefer tto use Chlordane or DDT. "Tagging" always should accompany any treatment for wool maggots. I Capitol. Then a picnic supper and party at Antelope Park and pavillicn was enjoyed.
