Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tuberculosis of the Food-Producing Animals Producing Animals There are few if any subjects connected with animal husbandry upon which more has been written and published within recent years than tuberculosis. It has been discussed in the publications of the Bureau of Animal Industry, in the bulletins of many experiment stations, in the reports of live-stock sanitary boards and State veterinarians, and in the columns of the agricultural press. The scientific investigations in relation to it have been extremely numerous and important in their results. Notwithstanding this activity in the discussion and investigation of the disease, however, there is probably no subject upon which there is a greater difference of opinion among the owners of live stock, and none of which the importance is so inadequately appreciated. It is unfortunate that in the first attempts to control this disease in the United States measures were adopted by some of the State authorities which were so radical and harsh that they aroused the antagonism of the cattle owners, the men who above all others should have been aided and benefited, and that a spirit was developed in the contests that followed which has made it extremely difficult to obtain a dispassionate and impartial consideration of the measures that are required to relieve our farmers from the losses which they are now suffering because of the existence of this disease and to remove the danger of the far greater losses with which they are menaced. A disease so widespread can not be controlled unless those most interested in the live stock of the country give their active support to the undertaking. It is therefore wise to examine the subject in an unbiased manner, to study carefully the nature of the disease, to learn as nearly as possible what the losses are, to what extent these losses are liable to increase, and whether measures of repression are or are not advisable. It is not a question of sentiment, but one of fact, and it should be examined as a business proposition. The object of this bulletin is to present the facts in as clear and concise a manner as possible, giving the observations and views of the best authorities, and of those who have studied the problem longest and are most competent to express an opinion. These facts should be known and considered, and if it appears that the prosperity of the live-stock industry is threatened, or that serious losses are occurring, appropriate action may be taken to check the losses and to remove their cause.
