U G~ S T Ruas j FARMESWAENED 0F AGGRESSIN DANGERS Inoculated with aggressin im.- mediately before shipment, cattle are likely to contract shipping fever and die, warns the Domin- ion Department of Agriculture. Aggressln, a niological sub- stance, can be useful if properly administered, explains Dr. C. A. Mitchell, Dominion Animal Pat - ologist, who says that aggi-essn can eventually give animals solid immunity against shipping fever. But this is possible only when ag- gressin-inoculated cattle are kept warm and comfortable and isolat- ed from members of other herds. When cattle soon after inocu- lation with aggressin are taken to cold stockyards or are shipped to railway cars where they m-ay en- counter other animals, they may easily contract shipping fever and die. The only protection avail- able on short notice against ship- ping fever is inoculation with anti-shippîng fever serum. Ifehis is administered just before cat- tie are shipped, lt gives them protection from 10 to 14 days. Ahl doors open to courtesy.- Thomas Fuller.
