Serum offer
NZPA-Reuter Vienna Czechoslovakia has offered Austria a new serum to combat the virus that has killed 39 of the famous Lippizaner white horses in southern Austria, reports the official C?teka news agency. Ceteka said that the serum, Leukocytal Interferon, was developed at the veterinary university in
Brno and immediately administered to all 14 Lippizaners in Czechoslovakia. There was no sign of the sickness, caused by the herpes type rhino-penumon-itis virus, among Lippizaners in Czechoslovakia. The epidemic, which affects brood mares and foals, hit the Piber stud farm in southern Austria in February.
