TUBERCULAR DISEASE
EFFICACY OF VACCINE. The investigations into the use of 8.C.0. vaccine against tuberculosis, for which a capital, grant of £3OIXI was made by the Empire Marketing Board to the Department of Animal Pathology. Cambridge University, have shown that the vaccine has the power, if suitably administered, to raise a calf’s resistance to tuberculosis to a very high level. Many calves A-acciti-nted with 8.C.0. and then infected with virulent bovine tuberculosis germs have survived for from eight to twenty months, although similarly infected calves that have not received the 8.C.0. died within three weeks.
