Full Text
Regardless of the perfection achieved in the control of blackleg the disease continues to exact considerable toll every year. Treatment of the sick animals, of course, is fruitless. After death the carcasses should be disposed of by deep burying or, better still, by burning. The best way to combat the disease is by building up immunity in susceptible animals by vaccination. It should, however, be remembered that protection is not built up until after eight to ten days after vaccination. When the immunity or protection is once established, it continues from fifteen to eighteen months. Ordinarily calves under six months and cattle over four years are not vaccinated, the disease being most prevalent between these two ages.
