Following are the highlights of advancenent made during the fiscal year at the Laboratory to meet these ever-increasing demands. Appropriated funds were made available to add a medical technician with virologi- cal training and experience to the staff; and equipment was acquired to establish several much needed virological diagnostic tests. The GC4 gas chromatograph was installed and the chemists have established the techniques and procedures re- quired for its use in detecting pesticides in milk. The gas chromatograph will find use in a broad range of toxicological investigations. Equipment and tech- niques have been acquired to carry out much needed chemical analyses of meat and meat-products. Members of the staff, at every possible opportunity, have attended specialized training schools and seminars to enable the Laboratory to adopt new and advanced methods. This year has seen real advancement in many areas of Laboratory work to provide the essential services required to keep Montana livestock healthy and meat and milk safe. The investment in training and equipment will become more manifest next biennium. The scope and wide variety of scientific examinations end tests on milk, meat and on a large number of animals of many species and the results obtained clearly demonstrate the broad scientific knowledge and skill possessed by the Laboratory staff. The results of some of their work are tabulated in the following tables: Diagnostic Laboratory Division Report tr\GL9 SUMMARY OF WORK PERFORMED Following is a summary of official tests and examinations performed by the Diag- nostic Laboratory during the fiscal year.

ON REP 0 R T PAGE 28 COMHENTS ON DISEASE CONTROL Many of the diseases which once posed a real threat to the Industry either have been reduced materially or no longer exist in Montana. Cattle diseases caused by bacteria accounted for only 8.6% of the diseases re- ported and those caused by viruses accounted for 35.6%. Those diseases for which the exact causes remain unknown accounted for 33.8% of the cattle diseases re- ported. Viruses were responsible for 1^% of the horse diseases reported. Inter- nal and external parasites remained the major cause of disease problems in sheep in that 62.1% of the cases reported were caused by these agents. Viruses caused 4^.2% of the swine cases reported, 61.6% of the poultry cases and 9^.3% cf the dog cases. These facts emphasize the importance of keeping the bacterial caused diseases sup- pressed and the need for better methods in the field and laboratory for diagnos- ing, controlling and preventing diseases of virus origin. Considerable advances have been made in all areas, but field reports of increasing incidences of virus- caused diseases demand that more be done in many areas to effect reduction of losses and to meet the challenge of their increasing costs to the industry. Such diseases as cancer eye, "pink eye", "asthma" and "water belly" caused markedly increased losses this past year. They are all diseases for which the exact cause has alluded many investigators. The fact that these diseases were mainly responsible for 33.8% of all cattle diseases reported this year indicates, beyond a doubt, that renewed efforts must be made to find the causes and better methods of prevention. CATTLE DISEASES Montana veterinarians reported ^^3 cattle diseases in 2^,982 cattle on 6,756 ran- ches. This is a decrease of 1 disease, 6,200 cattle and an increase of 863 ran- ches from the previous fiscal year. Anaplasmosi s A total of 97 cases on 68 ranches was reported. The Laboratory tested 509 blood samples from cattle for anaplasmosis, using the complement fixation test; and 35% showed a positive or suspicious reaction. The CA test was made on 277 bovine blood samples with 12% giving a positive reaction. The absence of clinical anaplasmosis in the three herds in which one-half of the cattle were vaccinated with "Anaplaz", an anaplasmosis vaccine, and no significant changes in anaplasmosis blood titers the fall of 1966, made it impossible to evalu- ate the effectiveness of the vaccine in preventing anaplasmosis in the herds in Montana, Brucel losis 129,502 cattle were tested for brucellosis, revealing 500 reactors (0.38%) and ^,230 suspects (3.28%). Of the total tested, 39,8^3 were tested out-of-state and Disease Control Division Report PAGE 29 62,262 were tested in the state from blood samples collected at packing plants from backtagged animals. There were 9,765 Brucellosis Ring Tests made on milk and cream samples. Forty- one (0,^2%) were suspicious to the test. The fiscal year started with 30 brucellosis infected herds. Thirty-one additional Infected herds were found during the year. A total of 35 herds eliminated bruce- losis, leaving 26 herds under brucellosis quarantine at the end of the fiscal year. Twenty-eight counties were recertified as Modif ied-Cert if led Brucellosis Areas during the fiscal year. During the fiscal year, 282,686 calves were officially vaccinated with Brucel la abortus Strain I9 vaccine. 8,^91 doses of Brucel la abortus vaccine were sold and apparently used for unofficial vaccination of calves.

Cattle utilizing forage with this excessive amount of fluoride will be most harmfully affected, it is sincerely hoped that the enforcement of the "Clean Air Act", adopted by the ^Oth Legislative Assembly will stop this indiscriminate poisoning of livestock in the 315 square mile area around Garrison, Montana, Mucosal Disease - Virus Diarrhea This virus disease complex showed a marked decrease in fiscal year I967. Montana veterinarians reported 102 cases on ^9 ranches. Although a virus diarrhea vaccine is available which can assist in the prevention of virus diarrhea, much remains to be done to establish more satisfactory methods on how to prevent the mucosa! disease - virus diarrhea complex. Disease Control Division Report PAGE 31 Rabies On March 13i '967 a cow in Wibaux County was found to be rabid. The preceding fiscal year showed a marked increase in skunk rabies in this general area. As skunk rabies increases in an area, domestic animal rabies increases. The skunk reduction program carried out in this area will prevent much exposure of domestic livestock to rabies. Rhinotrachei tis This disease was reported in 1,899 cattle on 64 ranches ;352 cases of vulvovagini- tis were reported. Many veterinarians feel that the I.B.R. virus is also respon- sible for a conjunctivitis in cattle which was being observed with increased fre- quency as the fiscal year ended. It is strongly suspected that many abortions are caused by this virus. The inclusion of the loB„R, serum neutralization test for diagnostic assistance at the Laboratory should assist in determining the amount of conjunctivitis, vulvovaginitis and abortions due to the i.B.R, virus in Montana. The I.B.R, vaccine is proving to be effective in preventing those losses attri- buted to the I.B.R, virus. Shipping Fever Veterinarians reported 7,390 cases of shipping fever on 551 ranches during the fiscal year. Although there was a reduction in the number of cases from last year, there was considerable increase in the number of ranches on which the dis- ease was observed „ This disease continues to remain the most frequently reported and wide:?pread disease occurring in Montana, It is sincerely hoped the newly developed vaccines containing Parainfluenza 3 virus, which became available during the year, will prove effective in reducing the incidence of the disease. Every attempt should be made to minimize stress factors on young cattle which are known to predispose them to this disease. Tuberculosis The tuberculin test was applied to 3,604 dairy cattle and 13,881 beef cattle. Three cattle in 3 herds gave a positive reaction to the test (0.017%). There were 102,105 cattle slaughtered under backtag or brand identification. Twenty-six cattle were reported to have lesions compatible with the lesions of tuberculosis (0,025%). Herds of origin of cattle found with lesions compatible with tuberculosis were tuberculin tested. The entire State of Montana was declared a Modif ied-Accredited Tuberculosis Disease Control Division Report PAGS 32 Area on February 2, 1967. This is a departure from reaccredi ting the state coun- ty by county. Vibriosis Both veterinarians in the field and at the Laboratory diagnosed an increased amount of vibriosis. Two hundred fifty-two cases were reported on 43 ranches. The Laboratory isolated Vibrio fetus from 73 cattle specimens. A ten-year com- pilation of reports of vibriosis definitely shows vibriosis to be state-wide in distribution. The first year's use of the commercially available Vibrio fetus bacterin Indicates it is being effective In reducing the infertility caused by this Infection, It is hoped that the bacterin will continue to help prevent serious losses from the disease. HORSE DISEASES There were 13 diseases in 1,072 horses reported on 535 ranches. Encephal i tis Montana veterinarians reported 37 cases of equine encephalitis on 36 premises. This was a marked decrease from the 324 cases on 276 premises reported last fiscal year. More widespread vaccination of horses could be responsible for the marked reduction. SHEEP DISEASES There were I5 sheep diseases reported on I65 ranches in 4,011 sheep. Montana sheep continue to remain remarkably free from serious infectious and contagious diseases. Epididymitis Montana veterinarians reported 677 cases of ram epididymitis on 79 ranches. Al- though this is a considerable increase over the previous fiscal year, there is every indication that the careful physical examination of rams, screening out those showing lesions, and the proper use of the R,E,0, bacterin is proving ef- fective In controlling the disease. Isolation of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculos I s from the epididymus of rams found with lesions of epididymitis indicates that this bacterium may be responsible for the cause of epididymitis along or, possibly, in combination with the R,E.O. bac- terius. Over the past three years, the Laboratory has, on several occasions. Isolated C, pseudotubercu 1 os I s only from R.E.O, suspected lesions. The signifi- cance of Z. pseudotuberculos is in the development of epididymitis will have to be Disease Control Division Report PAGE 33 determined to be able to effectively deal with epididymitis in rams. infectious Foot Rot There were 269 cases of foot rot reported in 23 flocks. For a good many years, an intensive program of eradication of this costly sheep disease has been carried out in Montana. Time and time again, it has been demonstrated that flocks of sheep and areas can get rid of the disease and remain free of the disease. The disease is spread by introducing sheep with infectious foot rot. The disease could be completely wiped out of Montana in six months to a year if every sheep owner desired this to happen^, It seems this should be done. Individuals who acquire infected sheep, hide the disease, cut out the lame ones and sell the exposed sheep are the individuals responsible for the perpetuation of this disease in our state. Pediculosis The reports of lice in 1,8^^ sheep in 8 flocks is a considerable reduction from the kB flocks with 10,800 sheep reported the previous fiscal year. Sheep owners could do much to get rid of lice once-and-for-al I if they would be alert to the very small louse (Dama' in la ovis) causing the problem, identifica- tion of this louse from sheep over the past several years indicates that this is the only louse causing lice infestation in Montana. Many sheep owners are, appar- ently, looking for a large louse, similar to the "blue louse" found on cattle, and overlook the very small sheep louse^, Rabies A ram was found to be rabid in Powder River County on March 2k, 1967. The ram had been in northeastern Wyoming prior to coming to Montana, Rabid skunks had been found In Powder River County and northeastern Wyoming the preceding fiscal year. Skunk reduction programs were carried out in both Montana and Wyoming In the areas where skunk rabies was diagnosed. This will reduce the possibility of further exposure of sheep to rabies. SWINE DISEASES Ten swine diseases in 688 swine on 59 premises were reported during the fiscal year. Disease Control Division Report PAGE 34 Bruce 1 los i s Mo clinical evidence of swine brucellosis was reported in the field. No isola- tions of Brucel la organisms were made by the Laboratory from swine specimens, SefologJcal tests made on 637 swine samples did not disclose reactors. Eleven swine herds were officially validated or revalidated as brucellosts-f ree during the fiscal year. Hog Cholera No hog cholera was reported during the fiscal year, POULTRY DISEASES Six poultry diseases were reported on 12 premises in 652 chickens. Salmonel la All breeding flocks supplying hatchery eggs were tested for pul lorum- typhoid. There were 29,050 chickens tested and one reactor (0.003%) was found. Salmonel la anatum was isolated from 2 chickens, ^ cal ifornia from 2 chickens and S. thompson from 1 chicken submitted to the Laboratory. WILD ANIMAL DISEASES Rabies The Laboratory conducted rabies tests on 251 animals of 25 different species dur- ing the fiscal year. Following is a chronological listing of the rabid positive animals found during the fiscal year: FOSITIVE RABIES Date Town County Specie 3-13-67 Wibaux Wibaux , Cow 3-24-67.,..

PM p. ►^ D M I LK & DAIRY INSPE CTION DIVISION REPORT PAGE 57 COMMENTS ON MILK & DAIRY INSPECTION The national trend of fewer producing dairies and milk plants distributing more inilk applies to Montana. The concentration of large volumes of milk in fewer railk plants, who have in some cases almost statewide distribution, lends great emphasis to the absolute necessity of observing every disease control and sanita- tion precaution to avoid a milk-borne disease or poisoning outbreak which could be most extensive. The milk and dairy inspection work is directed toward pre- vent ing such tragedies. The fact that the milk and dairy inspection work has, for many years, prevented milk-borne disease and poisoning outbreaks has caused a few to question its necessity and the same few to become careless. If this atti- tude prevailed, the result could be an extremely dangerous situation. It Is more important than ever that milk and dairy inspection be maintained to the highest degree of efficiency and thoroughness. To provide additional safeguards to consumers of milk, essential laboratory equip- ment has been obtained during the year to start routine testing of milk for the detection of pesticides. Plans have been completed to apply the Wisconsin Masti- tis Test to all producer samples to assist in eliminating milk obtained from cows with mastitis from being marketed into channels for human food. Milk & Dairy Inspection Division Report PAGE 58 SIM'IARY OF WORK PERFORMED Montana licensed Milk Plants distributed 201, 947, 200 pounds of pasteurized milk, cream and fluid milk products to Montana consumers during the fiscal year.

Causes of their condemnation ex- press, in no uncertain terms, the necessity for properly conducted meat inspection to safeguard human health. At least 1/3 of the meat sold is in the form of a processed or manufactured meat product. Meat, being a perishable and easily contaminated product, can decompose and become contaminated before and during processing and manufacturing. Meat pro- ducts can be treated and disguised to cover-up decomposition and contamination. Meat products easily lend themselves to substitution of adulterants and other less costly foods. They can be treated with harmful dyes, drugs, chemicals and non-food substances. Weight can be increased by Incorporation of excessive amounts of water and other non-meat substances. Meat and meat products can be processed and manufactured in insanitary surroundings and equipment. Pork meat products, improperly cured, smoked or cooked, can be a dangerous source of trich- inosis. Today's ever-increasing marketing of processed and manufactured meat products demands the maintenance of a good, complete system of processing, manu- facturing and labeling to always assure that wholesome, nutritious, safe and non- fradulent products are offered for sale. It is recommended, for public health and welfare, that a complete system of meat inspection be extended in Montana to assure the benefits of meat inspection to all Montana people.
