POULTRY HEALTH PROGRAM 



The division inspectors are continuing to inspect live poultry 

 at the poultry shows and fairs throughout the state for clinical 

 symptoms of disease. We have been successful in preventing any 

 outbreaks of disease during the fairs season. 



The Mycoplasma-Gallisepticum vaccination program during its fourth 

 year has been successful. It is hoped there will be enough clean 

 young stock available to the market egg producers to eliminate 

 some of the vaccination programs in the future. 



We have started a P.C.B., surveillance program to test the in- 

 gredients used in the manufacture of mixed grains to eliminate 

 further outbreaks of P.C.B., in our poultry flocks. 



The Mycoplasma-Gallispecticum testing program has been carried on 

 this year as in previous years and all breeders have been tested 

 every 21 to 60 days. All flocks have tested negative to M.G. 

 The division keeps on file all testing results from the laboratory. 

 Many of the countries throughout the world require that all young 

 stock be from Mycoplasma-Gallispecticum clean stock.
