BLACKLEG Vlxjyrrt Opinion on It Prevention and Treatment The veterinary department of the Kansas experiment station in a bulletin just issued says that blackleg in cattle is caused by the blackleg tiacillns and by no other germ On the other hand the blackleg bacillus causes blackleg and no other disease By controlling this bacillus we would have one solu tion of the question of prevention Blackleg is a wound infection disease that is it is produced by infection through a wound by the entrance of the blackleg bacillus through a wound into the body tissues This wound may be in the skin or in the mucous mem brane of the digestive tract mouth stomach intestine Blackleg bacilli are found in two places in the bodies of dead or diseased blackleg victims and in certain low damp soils usually bottom lands In both places these germs grow and innl tiply Infected soil or food plants grown on such soil serve as means to carry the germs into the animals tis sues Wounds or bruises in the animals skin or digestive membranes be they ever so slight serve as ports of entrance for the bacillus The hoofs of animals and their coats of hair even their drop pings carelessness in attendants serve to carry the germs from place to place These statements point out two pos sible methods of prevention First Changing animals from in fected fields usually low places with rich soil to noninfected grounds high dry places We can further prevent the spread of the disease by burning the dead bod ies of animals that died of blackleg avoiding the practice of burying such carcasses which amounts practically to planting the disease germs for future harvests Second The disease can in a meas ure be prevented by proper feeding feeding digestible grasses and root crops avoiding rough cornstalks and ottier coarse hard foods which can pro duce small internal or external wounds or abrasions and thus provide a port of entrance for the disease germ The germ always entersthe body through a wound Suckling calves do not have these opportunities for wounding their delicate mucous membranes and it is a well known4 fact that they are rarely afflicted with this disease LEGAL NOTICE
