(Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture. Toronto.) The infectious agent responsible for this diseased condition is generally attributed to the two small and well- known organisms, bacillus abortus and bacillus vibrio fetus. Both may be_ jresent in the same animal and others may also invade the animal tissues after these two have created conditions favorable to them. The abortion germs thrive best on fetal tissues and milk, and, like all other living things they hunt out the tie. sues where conditions suit their development best or not finding such Perish. After gaining entrance to the animal body the bacillus circuâ€" lates in the blood stream and finally establishes in the udder and preg- nant uterus, where conditions for growth are favorable to it. How long it may live in these localities is not known, but cases have been observed where cows were eliminating the germs in the milk two years after having aborted. The germ can live outside the animal body, but for growth it depends entirely on animal tissues. It is generally believed that the non-pregnant uterus seldom if ever becomes infected, and it is well known that uterus from which abor- tion has occurred, is generally cap- able of cleansing itself of all abortion bacilli, within two or three months after abortion has taken place. From this we can assume that the intra- uterine abortion infection, is depen- dent upon pregnancy. The fetal tis- sues must be present to sustain the germ, and infection does not take place in the non gravid uterus. The udder has been found to har- bor the germs of abortion, and each drop of milk from such infected ud- der may contain many germs. The condition offered by the mammary gland is apparently ideal for the growth of bacillus abortus, as this germ is frequently found in market milk. It causes no apparent damage to the mammary gland and in so far as is known does not render milk unsafe for human use. Experiments with new-born calves from infected cows show that they generally harbor in their stomachs and intestines, large numbers of abortion germs. Fortunately the body of the calf offers no tissue suitâ€" able to the maintenance and growth of the bacillus, and it is soon thrown off. Heifers Readily Infected. Investigations in dairy sections show that more than 80 per cent. of the abortion cases had occurred beâ€" fore the heifer had reached second calving. The physiological changes brought about by pregnancy create a suitable medium in the placenta and the fetal calf is gradually deprived of nourishment as a result of injury to the placenta or fetal membranes, which appear bloodless and show evi- dence of decomposition at the point of attachment. Expulsion must then take place, and it usually does so at once. Rebesting Method of Control. The testing of the blood of every animal, for the evidence of abortion infection, at intervals of six months and promptly removing all reâ€" actors, is a satisfactory method if started in time, that is, when the first abortion occurs. Should there be a number of aborters, a herd division is advis- able, providing there are two sets of buildings available. The testing of all purchased cattle before admitting them to the herd, the safeguarding of the feed and water against possible contamination and the enforcement of sanitary measures are three very important points that should be given full consideration in the attempt to keep the herd cleanâ€"L.
