Bangs Disease Meeting Notes On Cattle Testing
A December meeting at Elders Ridge Vocational School in Young township will discuss Bangs disease testing for cattle. County Agent Warner outlines the federal and state testing plans with incentives of up to 50 per head for reactors and 25 for grade reactors, plus salvage value. Indiana County has tested about 800 herds in the past year, with testing seen as insurance and value-adding, as buyers increasingly prefer tested herds. Blood testing and removal of reactors are cited as the only effective control by top veterinary authorities.
