COMPARISON OF 1951-53 AND l«>5.->.56 TESTING 



In udtlc 5 are listed the data for the two seasons. Fewer flocks, birds, and 

 samples were tested this past season than in 1954-55. It is encouraging to note 

 that the percentage of reactors was appreciably less than in 1954-55. Definite 

 progress is being made in further eliminating the disease from Massachusetts flocks 

 and in preventing clean flocks from becoming re-infected. Every poultryman, 

 hatcheryman, or anyone associated with the industry should strive to attain the 

 goal of completely eliminating this disease from Massachusetts flocks.
