Iv HISTORY & DUTIES of the MONTANA LIVESTOCK SANITARY BOARD The Livestock Sanitary Board was created by Chapter 152 of the 1907 Laws of Montana and re-enacted by Chapter 262 of the 1921 Laws of Montana. The duties of the Livestock Sanitary Board are set out in Sections 46-208 through 46-246; 46-301 through 46-303; 46-401 through 46-415; 46-907; 46-2401 through 46-2406; 46-2501 through 46-2515 and 46-2601 through 46-2611, R.CM, 1947. It is the duty of the Livestock Sanitary Board to confine, eradicate, control or prevent diseases of livestock and poultry; to prevent the introduction of livestock and poultry diseases into the State of Montana; to maintain a Diagnostic Laboratory; to license and to establish and maintain a system of inspection of meat and meat plants, slaughterhouses, dairies, milk and milk plants, rendering plants, garbage- feeding and garbage cooking establishments and animal arti- ficial insemination. In addition, it is the duty of the Livestock Sanitary Board to obtain samples of meat and milk offered for human consumption and carry out bacteriological and chemical analyses of these samples; to provide for safety of manufactured or refined foods for livestock; and to pro- vide for the control and safety of remedies and biological products used for treatment of animals. ADMINISTRATION D I V 1 S ION REPORT PAGE 1 SUMMARY OF PURPOSE AMD OBJECTIVES Montana, with its nearly 3,000,000 cattle, 1,600,000 sheep, 200,000 swine, 2,000,000 poultry, 100,000 horses and other animals, contributes much to providing precious food and fiber to a nation with a rapidly expanding population. The com- bined livestock and poultry industries, with their dependent allied industries, are essential to the economic stability of our state. During this recent era of food surpluses, which appears to be coming rapidly to a close, too many have had a tendency to take our blessings of adequate, wholesome food and fiber and a healthy, prosperous livestock and poultry industry for granted. The Montana Live- stock Sanitary Board and its staff, whose assigned duty and responsibility it is to safequard the heaiith of this extremely important industry, do not take this for granted; They know, all too well, that livestock diseases can, if permitted, decimate a livestock and poultry industry, They know that starvation, economic misery and political unrest in many countries today is the result of failing to recognize a healthy livestock population as the foundation of socio-economic stability. It has been the purpose of the Livestock Sanitary Board staff and Montana veterinari- ans, all of whom carry Deputy State Veterinarian appointments, to carry out every safeguard possible to protect the livestock and poultry industry from disease and to assure many people continued, adequate amounts of safe, wholesome food and fiber. To this, they are dedicated. It is hoped this Annual Report wi 1 1 properly reflect their combined efforts to accomplish these important objectives. LIVESTOCK SANITARY BOARD STAFF The demand of government and industry for veterinary medical scientists continues to increase. The 18 Colleges of Veterinary Medicine have not been able, and will not be able In the foreseeable future, to graduate sufficient numbers of veterin- ary medical scientists to meet this demand, It is most difficult for the Montana Livestock Sanitary Board to attract and main- tain the scientific, professional staff it must have in order to provide adequate safeguards for a healthy livestock industry and assure a safe product to Montana meat and milk consumers, when professional salaries are at least i5% to 30% lower than those offered by competing government agsncies, industry and private practice. The result has been that key positions have been vacant on the staff somewhere in the organization for 10 years. At the close of the fiscal year, two District Deputy State Veterinarian positions and one Veterinary Meat Inspector position were vacant. With only 6 District Deputy State Veterinarian positions on the entire state field-staff, vacancy of I '3 of these positions is dangerous. The organizational structure of the Livestock Sanitary Board is established and main- tained to have a minimum of trained, competent District Deputy State Veterinarians capable - at a moments notice - to recognize and establish emergency disease con- trol measures. This Is an absolute essential to the safety of the industry. The inability to attract competent veterinarians to a career in state public service, resulting in a reduction by 1/3 of a minimum staff, is a risk the industry and Montana should not have to take. This same situation exists with scientific per- sonnel required in the laboratory , in meat inspection and in milk inspection work. Administration Division Report PAGE 2 Montana's livestock industry and food- producing capabilities are too precious to the state and nation to risk by not having the safeguard of competent veterinary medical scientists readily available on the Montana Livestock Sanitary Board staff. The valuable work that has been accomplished has been done by a dedicated few who have tried very hard to do their own work and also carry the additional load created by vacancies on the staff. They simply would not be abie to stretch their dedication and willingness to work, should we be faced with only a "small" emergency disease outbreak which can happen at any time. The accomplishments of these dedicated men and women this past fiscal year are presented to the Montana Livestock Sanitary Board with most sincere gratitude. Pi AGNOSTIC LABORATORY DIVISION The Diagnostic Laboratory and its work is essential to the operation of all Divi- sions in the Livestock Sanitary Board. The Disease Control Division could not carry out its functions without the assistance of accurate laboratory findings. The Milk and Dairy Inspection Division could not assure the people of Montana a safe, wholesome fluid-milk supply without the assistance of thousands of routine mflk tests. The Meat Inspection Division could not assure the people of Montana a safe, wholescme meat supply without laboratory assistance in the diagnosis of livestock diseases and the testing of meat products to determine their labeled content. Modern technological advances require that a laboratory have proper equipment, facilities and a properly trained staff. The Livestock Sanitary Board is to be commended for their efforts to maintain as good a state diagnostic laboratory as can be found anywhere. The review of the livestock diseases present in Montana emphasizes the great need for tmproving the capability of the laboratory in the diagnosis of virus diseases. It is recommended that additional personnel, trained in virus diagnostic tech- niques, be added to the staff and the necessary laboratory equipment be obtained to meet this important demand. In 1965 the Montana Horse Racing Commission requested the Montana Livestock Sani- tary Board to determine if the Diagnostic Laboratory could run drug-detection tests on race horses, thus avoiding to have the tests made In an out-of-state laboratory. Due to the lack of some laboratory equipment and personnel trained to perform the tests, the Board determined that the laboratory was unable to per- form the tests in the IS65/66 racing season. Trained personnel were available the following year and necessary equipment was obtained. The chemistry laboratory section of the Diagnostic Laboratory started to perform the tests in June, 1 966. The Montana Horse Racing Commission arranged payment for the running of the tests from the race tracks submitting the samples. The cost of the equipment and running of the tests will be amortized from the fees charged. This not only assists another state agency, by using an available laborator/ in Montana, but provides equipment that increases the capability of the laboratory to make toxicological examinations. It also helps provide an additional chemist who will be needed to Administration Dlvis ion Report PAGE 3 perform the required gas chromatography analyses of meat and milk. Capital item funds became available at the end of the fiscal year to purchase the required gas chromatograph to detect pesticides in meat and milk. A review of the work performed by the Diagnostic Laboratory Division reveals ever- increasing demands for their exacting scientific work. There is every indication that these demands will continue to increase. DISEASE CONTROL DIVISION The reports of the Diagnostic Laboratory Division, the Disease Control Division and the Meat Inspection Division combined will reflect the over-all animal dis- ease picture in Montana for the fiscal year. An analysis of the livestock and poultry disease reports indicates that the health of Montana livestock has never been better. There was an absence, during the fiscal year, of outbreaks of such diseases as anthrax, bluetongue, hog cholera, Newcastle disease and scabies which have, in the past, required extraordinary control procedures. Previous costly diseases, such as brucellosis, tuberculosis and pullorum are at a very low level. Even though the livestock health record is good, there is always the "smoke and flames" of diseases that must be suppressed before they become conflagrations. In addition to the detailed reports of livestock diseases contained elsewhere in this report, it is believed the following diseases merit the continued attention of the Livestock Sanitary Board Brucel losis Progress was made during the fiscal year to eradicate brucellosis. More cattle were tested at slaughter, through continued Improvement of the market-cattle- testing program which is proving to be a tremendous asset in county recertifi- cation and early detection of newly infected herds. Cattle infection rate of 0.311% and herd infection rate of 0.11°% at the end of the fiscal year were the lowest ever recorded. Thirty-eight counties, at the end of the fiscal year, had no known infected herds - an increase of one county. No case of human brucellosis was reported. Even though progress has been made, many problems arise in attempts to effect final eradication. The greatest problem Is general apathy. As a disease that once caused great economic loss and public health danger is reduced to a point where there is no over-all economic loss or public health danger, then the stimu- lus to persist in efforts for final eradication is greatly reduced. This must not happen. If the last persistent effort is not made, there is sufficient foci of infection remaining to reestablish brucellosis. Encephal it is The number of cases of Western Equine Encephalitis in August and September of 1965 was the highest recorded since the pandemic in 1938, This indicated a simi- larity of increase of incidence which preceded the 1933 pandemic. Increased mos- quito activity in IS65 and a susceptible horse population were probably two factors contributing to the outbreak. Administration Division Report PAGE k Every effort was made to encourage horse owners to vaccinate their horses prior to the 1966 season and to carry out mosquito control in and around poultry premises. It would appear that response to these efforts has been good, leading us to be- lieve there will not be a repetition of the number of cases in 1 966 as occurred in 1965. Epididym? t is It was definitely established during the fiscal year that ram epididymitis Is widespread in Montana and is causing quite serious economic loss in flocks having the disease. In December, 1 965 a committee of the Montana Woolgrowers Association met with the Livestock Sanitary Board to explore ways and means to control the disease. Fol- lowing the meeting, members of the Livestock Sanitary Board and Montana Veterin- ary Research Laboratory staff assembled all available information on ram epididy- mitis for review with the Montana Woolgrowers committee. As the result of this study, the Montana Livestock Sanitary Board, in March, 1966, adopted regulations to provide for official vaccination of rams with REO bacterln and revised Regu- lation 1521, requiring specific clinical examination for ram epididymitis of rams to be Imported into Montana. They also made recommendations for vaccination of breeding rams and recommendations for inspection and rejection of rams with epi- didymitis being offered for sale at public markets. It Is recommended that the Board, with the cooperation of the Montana Woolgrowers Association, continue to observe and study ram epididymitis in order to Implement any action which will become necessary to assist in the control of this disease. Fluorosis Again this fiscal year, reports were received of cattle showing clinical signs of fluorosis. Again, all cases were located within a 15 mile radius of Garrison. It seems strange, in this era of technological advancement, that an industry would continue to throw out materials Into the environment which affects the health of animals of the most basic and important industry in our state. It is recommended that the Livestock Sanitary Board continue its efforts to seek appropriate mea- sures that would prevent the indiscriminate discharge of poisons. This can be done in such a way that both industries couid exist side by side. Hog Cholera Culminating about kO years of effort, hog cholera has been eradicated from Mon- tana. This fact was recognized In February, 1 966, by the presentation to Governor Babcock from the United States Department of Agriculture of a plaque declaring Montana a hog cholera-free state. Being free of hog cholera will mean much to Montana swine producers. It will be a little additional measure to assist in pro- viding adequate food to an expanding population. It will be most worthwhile to maintain this freedom from hog cholera. It is rec- commended that continued all-out efforts be made to prevent a refntroduction. It is recommended that should hog cholera reappear in Montana, immediate action be Administration Division Report page 5 talon to confine the disease and properly dispose of all infected and exposed swine. This should be followed by careful, supervised cleaning and disinfection of premises and contaminated equipment before restocking. To effect such pro- cedure, it Is recommended that funds always be available to indemnify owners of swine that are ordered destroyed. Such action will assure continued freedom from hog cholera. Rabies This dreadful disease, during the fiscal year, posed a very real threat to live- stock and human health. The disease has made its entry into Montana in the skunk population in eastern Montana. It is apparent that skunk rabies has been gradu- ally spreading westward over a number of years. Fifteen laboratory-confirmed rabid skunks from December, 1965 through May, 1966 established the seriousness of the threat. It seems inconceivable that Montana, for the first time in history, should have to live in fear of rabies endemic In its animal population. Definite steps were taken to establish an all-out-effort to carry out an Intensified skunk- suppress ion rabies-eradication program in eastern Montana. The objectives were to halt the western migration of skunk rabies and to eliminate all foci of infection in the skunk population. The cooperation of Montana County Commissioners, U. S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, Montana Fish & Game Commission. Montana State Board of Health, Mon- tana Livestock Commission, Montana Cooperative Extension Service and the office of the Governor was solicited and willingly obtained. A committee, consisting of representatives of the Montana Livestock Sanitary Board, Montana Fish & Game Com- mission, U. S„ Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, Montana Livestock Commis- sion, Montana State Board of Health and Montana Cooperative Extension Service, investigated proposed procedures for a skunk-suppression rabies-eradication pro- gram. The cooperative inter-agency recommended program was activated. m The willing cooperation of each of the above agencies for the common good of the people of Montana, lending their special talents and assistance, portends well that the program will be successful. Scabies In December, 1965, it was reported that Montana cattle were in a feedlot at Somis, California, containing about 10,^00 head of cattle found to be infected with _Psoroptic scabies. The feedlot contained 58I head of Montana cattle, consigned in 9 shipments. It was impossible to determine the origin of the outbreak and Montana cattle were suspect. It was determined that the Montana cattle originated from 151 ranches located in 27 counties. It was imperative to maintain the health status of Montana's cattle industry and inspect the herds of origin of all the cattle in the feedlot. A total of 32,192 cattle was inspected and, where necessary, skin scrapings were submitted for laboratory examination. All cattle and laboratory examinations were negative, thus, again, avoiding a costly eradicacion program and an embargo against Montana cattle. Administration Division Report PAGE 6 Tuberculos is Tuberculosis in chickens, caused by Mycobacterium avium, results in unprofitable poultry production. Even though good poultry husbandry and management practices can eliminate tuberculosis from poultry flocks, altogether too many flocks have tuberculosis in Montana, Swine tuberculosis almost always finds Its origin from Infected chickens. This results in large numbers of parts of swine, and even total carcasses, being con- demned on meat Inspection. Avian tuberculosis also results in sensitizing cattle to the tuberculin test and producing small mesenteric lesions In cattle. This greatly interferes with and complicates bovine tuberculosis eradication efforts. U Is recommended that the Montana Livestock Sanitary Board give serious consld^ eratlon to the adoption and enforcement of regulations that will effect the eli- mination of tuberculosis from Montana poultry flocks. Vibriosis Vibriosis In cattle In recent years posed a serious threat to economical produc- tion of beef cattle. The Trivalent Vibrio fetus bacterin developed by the Montana Veterinary Research Laboratory and extensively field-tested by the Ray Foundation of Montana was produced commercially and became available to the industry during the first part of 1966. The bacterin, from field-test results, promises to provide a means to control and prevent vibriosis. Distribution of Causes of Animal Diseases We wish to call particular attention to the distribution of animal diseases re- ported during the fiscal year and to their causes, as shown In the Disease Con- trol Division Report. (Page 48) Virus-caused diseases were responsible for over 50% of diseases reported in cat- tle. It clearly Indicates that these are serious disease threats and will have to be handled in the future. Such diseases as shipping fever, rhinotrachei tis, enzootic bovine abortion, mucosal-vi rus diarrhea, vulvovaginitis, rabies, encepha- litis, bluetongue, transmi ssable gastroenteritis and others predominate the dis- ease picture in livestock today. More research, Increased diagnostic capability, effective immunizing agents and Increased knowledge of the behavior of the dis- eases will have to be obtained to effectively deal with many of them. We recom- mend more emphasis be placed on the cause and control of the increasing viral diseases. Diseases caused by interna] and external parasites, this past fiscal year, were responsible for 81% of the sheep disease problems reported. External parasites, such as lice and sheep keds, and Internal parasites, such as round worms and tapeworms, are primarily responsible. These parasites can be effectively con- trolled through application of proper management and modern treatment. Administration Division Report PAGE 7 The diseases for which the causes remain unknown were particularly significant in cattle, accounting for over 17% of the diseases reported. They have been and re- main costly to the industry. The diseases of "cancer eye", "pink eye", "asthma" and "water belly" take too great a toll. The hope for reduction of these dis- eases rests in finding the cause through research, early detection and proper treatment. MILK & DAIRY INSPECTION DIVISION Another year can be added to the many without a report of a milk-borne disease outbreak from the consumption of fluid milk. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the milk and dairy inspection work being carried out. This also demonstrates the wisdom of enforcing requirements that dairy herds be free of such diseases as brucellosis and tuberculosis. The Montana Livestock Sanitary Board Official Regulations pertaining to "Dairies, Milk Plants, Milk and Milk Products" were revised in September, 1 965, in consul- tation with dairy industry representatives, to conform with the requirements of the U. S. Public Health Service 1 965 recommended Grade "A" Pasteurized Milk Or- dinance. Plans have been formulated and equipment provided to start routine testing of milk samples for the detection of pesticides in the fall of 1 966. Meetings with industry representatives have launched procedures for the industry to conduct Wisconsin Mastitis Tests on producer-dairy milk samples to implement the milk plant's quality-control-program and to stimulate mastitis control at the dairy farm. MEAT INSPECTION DIVISION The availability of additional funds on July I, 1965, provided by the 39th Legis- lative Assembly, made it possible to establish meat processing and labeling in- spection In all establishments operating under the Montana Meat Inspection Act. Meat processing and labeling inspection has long been a requirement under Montana Laws and Regulations. The funds provided enabled the Livestock Sanitary Board to meet their responsibilities assigned to them by these Laws and Regulations. Meat processing and labeling inspection was Inaugurated In ^establishments dur- ing the fiscal year. The cooperation of the meat plants and Industry has been ex- cellent in establishing this, phase of the meat Inspection. All plants required to have meat Inspection have done so, with the exception of k small meat proces- sing establishments in Missoula. Every effort Is being made to obtain their com- pliance before resorting to required legal action. The establishment of proces- sing and labeling inspection required the obtaining and training of all new per- sonnel. Excellent progress has been made. It appears that meat Inspection demands will continue to increase. Eight addi- tional establishments were granted official meat inspection this fiscal year. It Administration Division Report PAGE 8 is anticipated that at least k more will request meat inspection during the next fiscal year. The report of the Meat Inspection Division, showing that 1,571,005 pounds of meat and meat products were found totally unfit for human consumption and condemned, speaks more eloquently than words to justify this public health service. ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION In accordance with Chapter 37, Laws of 1953, 230 licenses were issued to in- dividuals during the fiscal year to practice artificial insemination in Montana. On behalf of the Montana Livestock Sanitary Board, the Animal and Range Sciences Department of Montana State University held two courses on artificial insemination and sanitation during the fiscal year to assist individuals in qualifying for a license. Duly appointed representatives of the Livestock Sanitary Board, who serve on the staff of Montana State University, conducted licensing examinations twice during the fiscal year to determine qualifications of license applicants. GRANT TO THE VETERINARY RESEARCH LABORATORY The Montana Livestock Sanitary Board approved a grant of $10,000 for the fiscal year to the Montana Veterinary Research Laboratory, specifying that the entire amount was to be used to assist in establishing and carrying out a research pro- ject on "calf scours". The following progress report was submitted by the Veter- inary Research Laboratory: "NEONATAL EMTERITIS IN CALVES - PROGRESS REPORT Veterinary Research Laboratory Montana State University The studies for the 1965-66 fiscal year were divided into three catagorles: 1 Isolations of bacteria from fecal specimens of newborn calves; normal and scouring calves in the same herd. 11 Effects of E. col i , C. perf ringens, mixtures of bacteria, and bacterial toxins. Ill Laboratory studies on: A Colostrum, amounts absorbed, antibody content. B Toxigenicity and serological characteristics of iso- lated bacteria. C Attempt to correlate resistance of calves with "A" and "B" above. Administration DIv i sion Report PAGE 9 Results: 1 Many bacteria have been Isolated from fecal samples of calves. Over 600 £. coU and C. perf rinqens isolates have been obtained and are being processed for serological characteristics. It has been observed that "normal" newborn calves contain only E. col i t while all but one of the scouring calves contained large numbers of both IE. col i and C. perfringens, Types A and C. Anerobes were not isolated from a scouring calf that had re- ceived two treatments. II Studies on the effect of bacterial cultures or toxins are in- conclusive because we have not had enough animals on the ex- periment. This work will be carried to completion, and the data obtained will be used to design future experiments with larger groups of calves. Ill It is much too early to arrive at any conclusions from our laboratory investigations in which we are attempting to obtain some form of correlation between the quality and quantity of ingested colostrum and resistance to challenge. Attendance was made to the Western Regional Committee Meeting on Enteric Diseases of Newborn Calves. The Veterinary Research Laboratory is a member of this committee and participates in the annual meeting. Ten different Western Experiment Stations are investigating this problem on a regional basis. The meeting serves for the correlation and exchange of information on this subject of calf scours and to eliminate dupli- cation of effort. In summary, we feel that, although substantial progress has been achieved during the beginning studies and preliminary results are encouraging, much work remains to be accomplished before the causes of the disease syndrome are fully understood and the time when reliable methods of pre- vention^ treatment and control are established."

This is an increase of k diseases, k,kBk cattle and 115 ranches from the previous fiscal year. Anaplasmos is A total of 90 cases of anaplasmos is on 69 ranches was reported by Montana veterin- arians. This is a reduction of 179 cases and 61 ranches from the previous fiscal year. The Diagnostic Laboratory tested 715 blood samples from cattle for anaplasmosis, with the Complement-Fixation Test, and 46% showed positive or suspicious reactions. The Capillary Agglutination Tube Test for anaplasmosis was applied to 637 bovine blood samples, with 32% giving a positive reaction. The tests, again this fiscal year, confirm that the number of carrier animals in the Montana enzootic area is high. The potential remains for a recurrence of the heavy losses reported during the summer and fall of 1964. The capability of the anaplasmosis Infectious agent being carried over from year to year in ticks, deer and possibly other wildlife leaves only one practical way to attempt to control anaplasmosis In a range or semi-range area in Montana that way is through an effective Immunizing agent. Fort Dodge Laboratories, Fort Dodge, Iowa, started, during the year, to commer- cially manufacture the anaplasmosis vaccine "Anaplaz", developed by the College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Oklahoma. Reports received indicate that about 7,517 doses of the vaccine were used In Montana during the fiscal year. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the vaccine in Montana, Fort Dodge Lab- oratories gave 600 doses to the Livestock Sanitary Board to be used In field- trials. The vaccine was administered to 248 cattle In three different herds in the enzootic area. An equal number of cattle was left unvaccinated In each herd. Deputy State Veterinarians will investigate all illnesses and death losses during the summer and fall and will obtain blood samples after the anaplasmosis season late In the fall of I966. Bruce 1 losls A total of 160,969 cattle was tested for brucellosis, revealing 602 reactors (0.31%) and 6,37*+ suspects (3.35%). Of the total tested, 51,886 were tested out- of-state and 62,909 were tested from samples collected in Montana on the market- cattle- testing program. The total number of cattle tested was 37,091 more than was tested during the I965 fiscal year. The percentage of reactors was 0.35% in the I965 fiscal year, compared with 0.31% in the 1966 fiscal year. There were 10,969 Brucellosis Ring Tests made on milk and cream samples - a de- crease of 2,442 from the previous year. Thirty-seven (0.34%) were suspicious to the test, compared with 0.32% in the I965 fiscal year. There was a reduction of brucellosis infected herds in Montana. With 37 herds from last year, 44 additional infected herds were found during the past fiscal Disease Control Division Report PAGE 37 year. A total of 51 herds were able to eliminate brucellosis, leaving 30 herds still under brucellosis quarantine at the end of the fiscal year. Nineteen counties were recertified as Modif ied-Certif ied Brucellosis Areas during the fiscal year.

Again, as last year, all cases were reported in an area adjacent to a phosphate plant. P.hinotrachei tis Montana veterinarians reported 2,814 cases of rhi notracheitis on sixty-six ran- ches. They also reported 295 cases of vulvovaginitis on two ranches. The labora- tory was unable to attribute a bacteriological cause to 520 aborted feti. From recent studies, it can be assumed that the cause of the vulvovaginitis and a share of the bacteriological ly negative aborted feti were due to the infectious bovine rhi notracheitis virus,. Shipping Fever This disease was - by far - the most serious disease problem experienced by cat- tlemen this past fiscal year. Veterinarians reported 11,152 cases on four hundred thirty-five ranches. Tuberculosis The tuberculin test was applied to 2,836 dairy cattle and 11,547 beef cattle - a total of 14,383. Two cattle in 2 dairy herds and two cattle in 2 beef herds gave positive reaction and were under quarantine at the end of the fiscal year. A total of 114,795 cattle was slaughtered under backtag or brand identification. Seventy-four cattle (0.064%) were found to have lesions grossly resembling tuber- culosis lesions. A review of information received on investigation of gross lesions obtained at slaughter for the past four years reveals the following: 1. 156 cattle were reported with gross lesions. 2. Location of Lesions; 72% Mesenteric lymph nodes. 10% Mediastinal lymph nodes. 9% , Cervical lymph nodes. 9% Bronchial lymph nodes, pleural and lungs. 3. Histological Examination: 35% , „ Suggestive of tuberculosis. 11% Migrating parasites. 27% Acid-fast bacilli demonstrated. 27% , Acid-fast bacilli not demonstrated. 4. Mycobacterium isolations: 24. 7% Mycobacterium avium. 3.2% Runyon Group IV. 1.1% Mycobacterium bovis. 71.0% No isolation made. Disease Control Division Report PAGE kO A total of 58 herds, containing 5>^32 cattle, was tested (from which cattle were found to have gross lesions at slaughter) in which histological examinations were suggestive of tuberculosis, or acid-fasts were demonstrated, or a Mycobacterium was isolated. Three reactors were found in one herd. Slight gross lesions were found In two of the reactors.., Mycobacterium avium was isolated from one. We have yet to find bovine tuberculosis in a herd of origin of cattle from which slight mesenteric lymph node lesions or other lymph node lssions were found at slaughter. In some instances, chickens with tuberculosis were found to be asso- ciated with the cattle. Twelve counties were reaccredited Modi fied-Accredi ted Tuberculosis Areas during the fiscal year. Vibriosis Montana veterinarians reported 129 cases of vibriosis on twenty-four ranches. The laboratory Isolated Vlbrp-fetus from 57 cattle specimens. Virus Abortion The enzootic bovine abortion virus has been definitely isolated from a herd of 105 cattle in which a 70% abortion rate had occurred. It is suspected this virus is more widespread than heretofore suspected. HORSE DISEASES A total of 11 diseases in 1,231 horses was reported on seven hundred sixty-two ranches. This Is an Increase of k diseases, 255 horses and 303 premises over last year. Encephal it Is Montana veterinarians reported 333 cases of equine encephalitis on two hundred eighty-five premises. This was a marked increase of 32k cases and 276 premises over the previous fiscal year. The Rocky Mountain Laboratory summarized their studies of the encephalitis out- break In the summer and fall of 1965 as follows: "Human Specimens Sera from 5^cases submitted and I7 (31.5%) were serologically confirmed for Western Equine Encephalitis. Thirty-six were negative; but from 7 of these, only a single (acute) specimen was received. One was con- firmed for St. Louis Encephalitis. Horses Sera from 55 horses submitted and 20 (36.3%) were serologically con- firmed for VJestern Equine Encephalitis. Disease Control Division Report PAGE k) The Western Equine Encephalitis virus was active in August, 1965, These were confirmed clinical cases In man and horses. High infection rates were found in Culex tarsal is mosquitos and in chickens. Evidence of in- fection in snakes lias not been found. This question will be investiga- ted further when snakes come out in the spring. After a season when there was so much activity of the virus, they should be positive if they play a role in the ecology of Western Equine Encephalitis." SHEEP DISEASES Eighteen sheep diseases were reported during the fiscal year by Montana veterin- arians on one hundred eighty-eight ranches in 12,883 sheep. This was the same number of diseases reported last year, but an Increase of eighty-seven ranches and 5,091 affected sheep. Epididymitis Montana veterinarians reported 79 cases of ram epididymitis on fifteen ranches. The laboratory tested 362 blood sera, using the REO Complement-f ixation Test and 3*+% gave reactions to the test. Foot rot Infectious foot rot continued to remain a problem In four bands in Montana. Per- sistent efforts are continuing In order to achieve complete eradication. Pediculosis Due to complaints from buyers of lambs having lice, particularly from one part of the state, many flocks of sheep in that area were inspected. All bands Inspected in which lice were found (Damalinla ovis) were placed under quarantine, In accord- ance with Regulation 110^. A total of kB bands, containing about 10,800 sheep, v-. -i~ quarantined. At the end of the fiscal year, 23 bands, containing 6,3 i0 sheep4 hod been dipped and released from quarantine. ° a s e Control Division R a p c r t PAGE k7, SWINE DISEASES Montana veterinarians reported 12 swine diseases In 570 swine on seventy-four premises. Bruce 1 losis No clinical evidence of brucellosis was reported, The laboratory did not isolate a Bruce 1 la organism from any swine, Serological tests made on 293 swine blood samples did not disclose any reactors.

Disease Control Division Report PAGE 43 POULTRY DISEASES Seven poultry diseases were reported on eighteen premises in 472 chickens. Salmonel la All breeding flocks supplying hatchery eggs were tested for pullorum disease. A total of 25,534 chickens was tested and 22 reactors (0.086%) were found. Sal- monella pullorum was isolated from 3 chickens, Salmonella newport from 1 chicken and Salmonella san dieqo from 1 chicken submitted to the laboratory.
