Scientific Aid for the Cattle Industry in Queensland
Mr L G Walker district inspector and Mr F Brown stock inspector with Mr G Alexander animal husbandry have travelled about 1500 miles and conducted over one blood test in cattle as part of a statewide study on Phosphate Deficiency Disease. The work aims to diagnose low phosphate in blood linked to protein shortage and poor growth, emaciation, and bone weakness. Grassers praise the Department of Agriculture and staff for practical guidance.
