Spread of tuberculosis among cattle report study in 1903 experiment
A detailed report outlines an experiment at the bureau of animal industry in Washington where seven healthy cattle were exposed to three tubercular cows for 188 to 191 days. All seven later showed tuberculosis, while two tubercular cows died with the disease. The study concludes rapid herd spread is possible and Von Behring immunization was ineffective. Farmers are urged to keep diseased cattle out of herds and to seek preventative measures.
