MCHENRY COUNTY^ RATES HIGHEST IN CALF VACCINATION The University of Illinois re- - ports McHenry county high in • brucellosis testing and calfhood vaccination from Jan. 1, 1955, to Dec. 1, 1955, in summary of brucellosis testing by.bounties. ' The twelve high/counties in ^Illinois for the year of 1955 also 'included Kane, Will and Boone ill that order. It is very interesting to notice that in a period of ten years the percentage of infection has dropped from 14.21 per" ^jent to 2.5 per cent. At the same time, calfhood vaccination was being stepped1* 'up by leaps and bounds, which indicates that ^alfhood vaccination played a major role in the eradication of brucellosis in this county. It is also interesting to note that blood . testing fell off drastically from 1946 to the fall of 1951, but calfhood vaccination rapidly increased during those same years. I believe the drop in blood testing jyas due. to the fact that livestock owners, concluded that it was useless to test until most of their cattle were vaccinated as they had learned that it was impossible to clean up,, brucellosis in herds that had- not practiced calfhood vaccination. Therefore, the conclusion is that it is a serious error on the part of the livestock owner to miss vaccinating even one calf. Also, it is a serious error not to keep birth records of his calves and make certain they are vaccinated at the most desirable" age, which is. from five to seven months of age.
