TESTING FOWL OTHER THAN CHICKENS 



During the past year, 34,779 samples from fowl other than chickens including 

 26,302 turkeys, 7,324 pheasants, 978 quail, 66 geese, 50 partridge, 49 guinea fowl, 

 and 10 ducks were tested. No reactors were detected. 



NONREACTING AND POSITIVE FLOCKS CLASSIFIED BY COUNTIES 



Table 4 reveals that 335 nonreacting flocks, representing 1,170,936 birds were 

 identified in eleven counties. A total of 326 flocks, representing 1,159,567 birds, 

 was 100 percent tested; whereas, 9 flocks, representing 11,369 birds were partially 

 tested. 



At the close of the season three flocks, representing 7,154 birds, were classified 

 as positive. These flocks were located in Franklin, Middlesex, and Plymouth Coun- 

 ties. 



It is gratifying to note that 98.43 percent of all the birds tested are in 100 

 percent tested nonreacting flocks. It is hoped that in the near future all flocks 

 tested may be classified in the 100 percent tested nonreacting group.
