Brucellosis Down In Boone County
Boone County dairymen cut brucellosis losses through testing and control. The second ring test covered over 600 herds with 11.2 percent infected, among the lowest in Iowa counties. The reduction follows a first test six months earlier showing 14 percent. Tests reflect herd reactors, not total cattle infection. County efforts began two years ago under T. E. Nelson with an educational program and a county committee. State help and free ring tests aided participation. Laws effective in 1954 and 1956 push broader control, including calf vaccination and reactor removal, to protect owners’ profits.
