Hemorrhagic Septicemia 



This condition, like cholera, is present in our herds more or less 

 during the entire year. The infection in most herds can be traced to 

 additions from infected yards, which indicates the necessity of a regu- 

 lation, requiring vaccination of all hogs going back to the farms. 

 Vaccination for this condition has also been highly developed, and 

 while probably not as efficient as the one for cholera, has proven very 

 successful. 



Our work in this field, as in cholera, has been largely in sections 

 where veterinary services are not available.

POULTRY 



The poultry industry of Kentucky, while not as highly developed 

 as it is in many states, has reached such proportions that it is now 

 considered one of the important branches of agriculture. Poultry 

 growers have sustained heavy losses from diseases, and have been 

 practically helpless, in that they have had no one to turn to for assist- 

 ance. Bacillary white diarrhea and parasites continue to increase in 

 our flocks and an industry of this importance certainly warrants facili- 

 ties and necessary funds for the proper assistance.
