B” ON
BANG’S DISEASE
All Texas cattle that are test-
ed for Bang’s disease and found
infected must be branded on
the left jaw with the letter ;‘B”
and reported to the Texas Live-
stock Sanitary Commission, to
conform with House Bill 525, re-
cently made law by the State
Legislature.
Dr. E. A. Grist, veterinarian of
The Texas A. and M. College Ex-
tension Service, explains that it
is now the duty of the veteri-
narans who do Bang’s testing to
place the brand on cows that re-
act positively to the disease. A
penalty will be fixed upon any
person who refuses to allow the
branding, or who sells or dis-
poses of cattle for milK purpose
when he knows them to be in-
fected.
The branding Of Bang’s-infec-
ted cows will enable better con-
trol of the disease, says Doctor
Grist, since control measure
must be planned on the basis
of individcal herd problems.
In the fiscal year, September
1944 to August 1945, 133,891
head of cattle were tested for
Bang’s disease in Texas, with
9,435 showing up infected. Many
of these reacting cattle proba-
bly found their way into other
herds, says Doctor Grist. The
requirenents of the branding
law will help hold down the
spread of the disease.
