The Effect Of Mulesing And Tailstripping At Lamb Marking On Subsequent Lamb Growth And Incidence Of Fly Strike, R J. Lightfoot, W. L. Mcgarry
The Effect Of Mulesing And Tailstripping At Lamb Marking On Subsequent Lamb Growth And Incidence Of Fly Strike, R J. Lightfoot, W. L. Mcgarry
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE modified mules and tailstrip operation has been shown to be highly effective in reducing the incidence of crutch strike in sheep.
In Western Australia the operation is usually performed on ewe weaners or hoggets immediately after either crutching or shearing.
Precautions For Day Old Fowl Pox Vaccination, P Smetana
Precautions For Day Old Fowl Pox Vaccination, P Smetana
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
DURING 1962 day old vaccination was widely adopted as a preventative measure against fowl pox.
From June, 1961, until mid-June, 1962, this procedure proved to be highly successful, but from this date onwards a proportion of treated flocks became affected by breakdowns accompanied by mortality and retarded growth.
In some cases the losses were disturbingly high.
Udder Preparation For Milking, W G. Robinson
Udder Preparation For Milking, W G. Robinson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
REGULAR routine methods of preparing the udder for milking hare long been recognised as essential for good "let down" of milk.
The biggest problem so far has been to combat the spread of disease, in particular mastitis from udder to udder by the milker's hands or the udder washing cloths.
Infectious Abortion Diseases In Sheep, Stanley M. Dennis
Infectious Abortion Diseases In Sheep, Stanley M. Dennis
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
There are increasing signs that infections causing abortion in sheep are an important source of lambing losses in Western Australia.
The organisms responsible may cause losses at any time from the 60th day of pregnancy to a week after birth.
This article discusses the symptoms, effects and control of infectious abortion and associated losses, and outlines a research project started this year to investigate them.
Beef Cattle Progress Report, E. F. Frolik, H. H. Kramer
Beef Cattle Progress Report, E. F. Frolik, H. H. Kramer
Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports
Shipping fever is a respiratory disease "complex" of cattle. The disease causes extensive economic losses from death, loss of physical condition, inefficient feed utilization and treatment expense. The annual loss from this disease in the United States has been estimated to be $25,000,000.
In many respects shipping fever is similar to respiratory diseases of humans. It may occur in any season of the year, but is most common in the fall and early winter. Although any age animal may be infected recently weaned calves and feeder cattle which have just been moved from the range to feedlot are most susceptible.
Hints On Chicken Rearing, P Smetana
Hints On Chicken Rearing, P Smetana
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
For the next few months poultry farmers will once again be concerned with rearing chickens.
A good brooder, ample space, good sanitation, plenty of water and a balanced feed are still the essentials of successful chicken raising, says P. Smetana, B.Sc. (Agric), Acting Officer-in-Charge of the Poultry Branch.
Day-Old Fowl Pox Vaccination, P Smetana
Day-Old Fowl Pox Vaccination, P Smetana
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
FOR many years the standard procedure for fowl pox prevention on West Australian poultry farms has been to vaccinate young stock at 12 weeks of age. Although most farmers have used this system successfully it has a number of weaknesses which can be overcome by day-old vaccination.
A new day-old fowl pox vaccine now on the market has many advantages over the normal vaccine, which is used at about 12 weeks old.
In tests at the Poultry Research Station it gave satisfactory results.

An Unusual Tick Fever Outbreak, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
EARLY in the summer of 1961 there was a series of unusual tick fever outbreaks on several poultry farms in the metropolitan area.
These outbreaks were unusual because no apparent vector (disease carrier) could be found.
Stress Factors In Pig Raising, P C. Beck
Stress Factors In Pig Raising, P C. Beck
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE pig raiser who wishes to attain the best possible growth performance from his pigs must recognise factors other than the basic ones of good nutrition and bredin capacity.
These are "stress factors"—minor factors of husbandry which can greatly damage health and limit the growth rate.
A Modified Copper Hot Water System, F J. Fielder
A Modified Copper Hot Water System, F J. Fielder
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A good supply of hot and boiling water for cleansing and sterilising utensils is essential for hygienic milk production.
Dairy Instructor F. Fielder, M.D.D., describes an efficient and economical modification of a copper hot water system for this purpose.
SINGLE copper units of 14 or 16 gallon capacity to supply hot and boiling water for the dairy are no longer good enough for most dairy farms.

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports
Feeding pastured calves protein supplements weekly instead of daily during the winter made little difference in either winter or summer gains, according to research results to date.
Two sources of protein were used in the trial. (I) Second cutting alfalfa hay was fed at the rate of four pounds per head daily. One group of calves was fed four pounds per head daily and one group was fed 28 pounds per head once each week. (2) Forty percent protein, pellets or cake, was fed at the rate of one pound per head daily. One group was fed one pound per …

Mulesing And Tailstripping : For The Prevention Of Fly-Strike, W L. Mcgarry
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
MULESING and tailstripping are basic to fly strike control.
During emergencies and bad fly waves they may need to be supplemented by temporary protective measures such as jetting and crutching.
Mulesing At Lamb Marking Time, M Butler
Mulesing At Lamb Marking Time, M Butler
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
REALISING that mulesing and tailstripping of sheep is the most effective system devised to counteract the loss and damage caused by blowfly strike in their sheep, many farmers and pastoralists are now incorporating it as standard practice in their system of sheep husbandry.
Can Worms Be Controlled By Correct Feeding?, Laurence C. Snook
Can Worms Be Controlled By Correct Feeding?, Laurence C. Snook
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE extensive losses which result from the ravages of internal parasites are a matter of serious concern.
Livestock owners realise this all too well and welcome advice concerning control measures which can be adopted. Unfortunately, it is not possible to give clear cut advice on the subject.
Much publicity is given to the use of drugs which will expel the worms. Various systems of strategic drenching have been developed.
It is well to remember, however, that drenching is only one of many methods which can be used to control worm infestation.
In this talk attention will be concentrated on experimental …

Mulesing Pays, W L. Mcgarry
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THERE is little doubt that the combined mules and tail strip treatment is still far ahead of all other blowfly control measures.
This treatment can and should be carried out as farm or station routine practice in the same way as are other accepted management practices, such as lambmarking, drenching, etc.
The Dehorning Of Cattle, J Shilkin
The Dehorning Of Cattle, J Shilkin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE dehorning of cattle, both dairy and beef, has many advantages.
Breeders of stud cattle frequently claim that removal of the horns spoils the appearance of show animals and stress that the practice is cruel.
Whilst both these statements may, to some extent, be true, the advantages of the practice far outweigh any disadvantages.
Virus Pneumonia Of Pigs, J Craig, N. Macintyre
Virus Pneumonia Of Pigs, J Craig, N. Macintyre
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THIS disease is widespread in Western Australia and is undoubtedly a most serious source of economic loss to the pig industry.
The effects of virus pneumonia are such that in badly managed herds, widespread pneumonic outbreaks and deaths are common.
By contrast, in well managed herds, there is the more insidious problem of low or nil death rates, accompanied however by an appreciable fall in animal production.

Drugs For Worm Control. 1. Sheep Drenching Trials With Mk 360, M R. Gardiner, J. Craig
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
DRENCHING sheep with drugs designed to eliminate parasites has become an established practice in the higher rainfall districts of Western Australia.
has been tested in many trials, and their is little doubt that drenching sheep clinically affected with worms—the so-called "tactical" drench—is valuable and necessary.
However, there is usually less general acceptance of the value of "strategic" drenching— the prevention of clinical parasitism by giving the drug at certain specific times, pre-determined by a knowledge of the numerical rise and fall of the various parasites within the animal body.
Some Notes On Worms In Sheep In Southern Western Australia, I W. Parnell
Some Notes On Worms In Sheep In Southern Western Australia, I W. Parnell
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
DURING the last fifty or more years several surveys have been made of the worm parasites which occur in southern Western Australia.
In the 'fifties, thanks to the stimulus of Mr. H. McL. Gordon, supported by Dr. H. W. Bennetts, observations were made on the sequence of the infestations in autumn-born weaners in the country stretching from Moora to Cranbrook and Bridgetown, and later near Geraldton and Esperance.

49th Annual Feeders Day Progress Report: Improving Beef Production Through Nutrition And Management, E. F. Frolik, A. W. Epp
Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports
The science of nutrition has come into its own in the last few years. Greater recognition of the value of protein, the identification of new nutrients and the awareness of the importance of nutrition to health have been part of this trend.
In this new era in nutrition, beef has been found to be one of our most nutritious foods. Not only does it contain a generous amount of protein, but its protein is of high quality, too. In addition, beef supplies important minerals such as iron and phosphorus, which contribute to healthy blood and sturdy bones. The essential B …
