CONCLUSIONS 
Aithough not yet complete, the result, up to date, of this experiment is 
exceedingly interesting, and corresponding with the undoubted success of the 
first important protective inoculation experiment at Mundoolun just twelve 
months ago. J fully anticipate that when the bulls are subjected to gross tick 
infection at Inkerman they will remain absolutely immune to natural tick 
fever. If this be realised, then I consider that there can be no possible 
excuse or reason given for delays in the introduction of new blood from 
Southern Queensland, New South Wales or Victoria, for the much-needed 
improvement of the general herds of Northern Queensland. 
The fact that all the animals in this experiment were young confirms in a 
very crucial manner the observations I made on the Gilbert, Norman, and 
Flinders Rivers in 1894.and 1895 regarding the general resistance or insuscepti- 
bility of young animals to a fatal attack of tick fever.
