Pig Husbandry Research In Western Australia, N W. Godfrey
Pig Husbandry Research In Western Australia, N W. Godfrey
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN the past it has not been possible to undertake research work with pigs on any appreciable scale in Western Australia.
A small herd has been maintained at Denmark Research Station for some years as a demonstration side-line unit, run in conjunction with the dairy herd.
A number of very useful trials have been carried out with the Denmark herd, but its size has limited the comprehensiveness of the type of research work that could be undertaken.

Are Bactericides Necessary In Sheep Dips?, M R. Gardiner
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE OCCURRANCE of mycotic dermatitis in sheep in Western Australia, although rather unpredictable, is quite frequent throughout the higher rainfall districts.
Efforts have been made for several years to control infection by adding bactericides to dips.
Bovine Tuberculosis Control In Western Australia : Past, Present And Future, M R. Gardiner
Bovine Tuberculosis Control In Western Australia : Past, Present And Future, M R. Gardiner
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
TWENTY YEARS AGO, tuberculosis was a widespread and serious disease in the dairy cattle of Western Australia.
Besides having a marked depressing effect on the economy of the dairying industry, bovine tuberculosis was a constant hazard to humans coming in contact with it.
Drenches For Treatment And Control Of Worms In Sheep : 1969 : Efficiency, Cost And Safety, W A. Halhead, G. De Chaneet
Drenches For Treatment And Control Of Worms In Sheep : 1969 : Efficiency, Cost And Safety, W A. Halhead, G. De Chaneet
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THERE is a wide variation in the efficiency and cost of drugs for worm control in sheep.
Generally, the higher the efficiency, the greater the cost. Prices are subject to change, and may vary with the amount of drench purchased.
Sheep Worm Control And Lambing Time In High Rainfall Areas, F C. Wilkinson
Sheep Worm Control And Lambing Time In High Rainfall Areas, F C. Wilkinson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Indications from a continuing sheep trial at Margaret River are that farmers in high rainfall areas could increase stocking rates and lamb growth rates by lambing in September- October rather than July-August.
The results also indicate that farmers in the area may be spending more than necessary on worm control.
Black-Leg In Cattle, F C. Wilkinson
Black-Leg In Cattle, F C. Wilkinson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
BLACK-LEG is still a serious disease of cattle in the South West coastal region, causing deaths in young cattle.
The disease is characterised by hot swollen muscles, acute lameness and rapid death.
Cattle affected are usually 6 to 12 months old, in fat condition, and grazing on lush pastures.

Sheep Drenching Programms, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Drenching of sheep to prevent build-up of worm infestations is commonly practised on many properties in the agricultural districts of Western Australia. This is called strategic drenching.
Practical Disease Prevention In The Pig Herd, R B. Richards
Practical Disease Prevention In The Pig Herd, R B. Richards
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
DISEASES cause loss in pig production through mortality, poor growth rate and reduced food conversion efficiency.
The cost of drugs and expert advice causes further economic loss, and the dangers to public health and to other livestock in a community are serious and often-neglected considerations.
