Tuberculous Pigs and Skim Milk

A discussion notes tuberculosis in pigs and the use of skim milk from dairies. It argues legislation targets border controls, urges stricter animal breeding and rearing practices, and suggests pasteurisation and separation in creameries could reduce disease prevalence among pigs and calves.

Vaccination Shows Improvement in Tuberculosis Trials

Historical data reports experiments on vaccination against tuberculosis using sixty vaccinated and thirty treated animals. Results indicate 60 percent complete success with intravenous vaccination, 72 percent in some cases, and much higher infection in untreated groups. Overall, disease appeared far less in vaccinated animals than controls.
