Place To Inject
The Department of Agriculture had arrived at a standard site for injections in lambs, the livestock superintendent of the Department of Agriculture in Christchurch, Mr M. C. Armstrong, said this week. The department’s observations indicated that injections of vaccines and other substances made under the skin on the side of the neck and close to the head caused the least amount of trouble at freezing works.
According to last week’s agriculture newsletter, issued by the Department of Agriculture, the Auckland Freezing Workers' Union informed a recent meeting called by the Department of Agriculture, and including representatives of Federated Farmers and freezing companies, that lamb but-
cbers would refuse to handle improperly vaccinated lambs from the start of the 1965-66 season. The union representatives explained that it was practically impossible to make a good job of dressing a lamb carcase which had been improperly vaccinated, and that damage was done to both pelt and carcase. Further, the vaccination abscesses and adhesions, which caused this difficulty in dressing, were objectionable to the butcher.
