Michigan Brucellosis Program Nears Final Stage
Michigan's twenty year brucellosis control moves into final phase with 56 of 83 counties expected to be modified certified free by June and statewide free status likely by July 1958. About 99 percent of cattle and 95 percent of herds may be brucellosis free, but experts urge continued testing, careful cattle purchases, clean transport, and calfhood vaccination to prevent resurgence. Clare County has achieved modification certification with infection under half a percent and seeks Plan A disposal for reactors.

Temperature Affects Milk Quality
Michigan State extension specialist Don Murray notes milk keeps best at cool temps. High quality milk remains acceptable for three to four days at 36 degrees F. At 88 degrees F most Grade A milk lasts two days. Storage at 45 degrees rapidly raises bacterial counts, with one fourth of samples becoming unacceptable after one day, especially when starting counts exceed 50 000 per milliliter.
