Naturally .very fanner does his best to control disease in his herd, ;ut somehow this drain on butterfat production goes on. 'oday with Britain calling for more and more butterfat e must take a strong line against disease in our stock. These disorders may be lessened and the Department of Agriculture will provide information relating to the recognition and control of such diseases ... the first step to healthier herds and increased production. At the first sign of any disease in your herd contact your nearest office of the Department of Agriculture. \ * ♦A* oann Milk fever generally affects heavy producing cows in high condition. To help lessen the risk of milk fever rationing of spring pastures for such cows prior to calving is a wise precaution. Mastitis causes greater loss to butterfat production than any other herd disease. In New Zealand the life of a cow depends largely on her ability to resist mastitis. Cleanliness and quiet handling will assist in the prevention of mastitis. Details of recommended methods of control of grass staggers and general herd management may be obtained from the Department of Agriculture on application.
