TESTING FOWL OTHER THAN CHICKENS 



During the past year, 35,135 samples from fowl other than chickens including 

 27,189 turkeys, 6,348 pheasants, 1,367 quail, 93 partridge, 90 geese, 28 guinea 

 fowl, 10 game birds, 8 ducks, and 2 pea fowl were tested. No reactors were detected. 



NONREACTING AND POSITIVE FLOCKS CLASSIFIED BY COUNTIES 



Table 4 reveals that 366 nonreacting flocks, representing 1,146,932 birds, were 

 identified in 12 counties. A total of 357 flocks, representing 1,135,436 birds, was 

 100 percent tested, whereas 9 flocks that contained 11,496 birds were partially 

 tested. In Barnstable, Dukes, Essex, Hampden, and Hampshire Counties all the 

 flocks tested were 100 percent tested nonreacting. 



At the close of the season only five flocks, representing 8,427 birds, were classi- 

 fied as positive. These flocks were located in Bristol, Franklin, and Middlesex 

 Counties. 



It is hoped that in the near future all tested flocks will be 100 percent tested 

 and classified in the nonreacting group. This goal can be obtained if flock owners 

 and hatcherymen will be vigilant in their control and eradication measures.
