Bismarek, North Dakota, April 17th, 1914. STATE LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD, NORTH DAKOTA. REGULATIONS REGARDING HOG CHOLERA. The sudden death of one or two hogs should lead owners to suspect cholera. A eareful examination of the carcasses should at once be made, preferably by a veterinarian, and the careasses must then be deeply buried or burned. (All hogs that have died from any disease should be buried or burned.) When hog cholera is found to exist the owner should immediately resort to the use of anti-hog cholera serum. Anti-hog cholera serum rarely cures hogs sick with hog cholera, but is a reasonably sure preventative. Herds that are infected must be confined to enclosures removed from the public highway. Owners having the infection on their premises must not visit other hog lots and you should not allow unauthorized persons to enter the premises where _infected hogs are located. Only the one whose duty it is to feed the hogs should be allowed to visit the pens and this attendant should keep away from neighbors’ pens. In instances where hog cholera has heen found to exist by an agent of the state live stock sanitary board, the premises shall be posted by having a placard bearing the words ‘‘Quarantine—Hog Cholera—Keep Out’’ placed in a conspicuous place near the entrance to premises. Pens that have contained hogs affected with cholera should be thoroughly disinfected with.a 3-per cent. solution of compound solution of ecresol. Hog lots that have contained cholera hogs should be deeply plowed. The law provides that it shall be the duty of the owner or person hayimg in charge any swine that have died of any disease to immediately dispose of the carcasses by burying or burning same. | . The law prohibits the conveyance of diseased swine or swine exposed to disease, along or upon any public highway. It is unlawful for any person negligently or. wilfully to allow his hogs or those under his control that are afflicted with any disease or exposed thereto, to escape his control or run at large. PENALTY.] Any person violating any of the provisions of this act or any rule or regulation made by the state live stock sanitary board shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and be punished by a fine of not less than $25.00, or more than $500.00 dollars, or by imprisonment not less than thirty days or more than ninety days. | NORTH DAKOTA LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD 33 RULES AND REGULATIONS CONCERNING HORSE MANGE. 1. Horses affected with mange are hereby held to be affected with a contagious disease as designated by the law of this state and the rules of the state live stock sanitary board. All persons are hereby forbidden to transport such diseased horses from any point outside the state to any point within the state, or from place to place within the state without first obtaining written permit from the state veterinarian or assistant state veterinarian. No such permit shall be granted unless the owner or person in whose possession such diseased or affected animals shall be, shall first have filed with the state veter- inarian or assistant state veterinarian satisfactory proof that such animals haye received the treatment that in their opinion will remove the contagion. 2. All horses affected with or showing symptoms of mange must not be sold, transferred or moved by the original owner until the contagion has been thoroughly eradicated, the disease known as mange being amenable to treat- ment when properly applied. : 3. Horse mange has become so prevalent in this state that in the opinion of this board stringent measures for its eradication are necessary for the public protection, therefore, it is hereby provided by this board that any owner disposing of a horse affected with mange is guilty of disposing of an animal affected with a contagious disease which is a misdemeanor and punishable by law. : Section 20 of Session Laws of 1907: ‘“Any person violating any of the provisions of this act or any rule or regulation made by the live stock sanitary board shall be guilty of a mis- demeanor and be punished by a fine of not less than $25.00, or more than. $500.00, or by imprisonment not less than thirty days or more than ninety — days.’’ INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLYING THE OPHTHALMIC TEST. Before the application of the ophthalmic test the animals should be care- fully examined to ascertain whether the eye shows conjunctivitis or other changes which are associated with suppuration. Should such be present, the test should not be applied. The test consists in introducing into the conjunctival sac of the eye several drops of either undiluted raw mallein or a solution of precipitated mallein (0.1 to 0.2 ¢. ce. per horse). This may be introduced either with the aid of an eye dropper or preferably with a camel’s-hair brush by applying the brush gently along the inner surface of both the upper and lower eyelids. The other eye is not treated, but serves as a control for comparison of the reaction. For the testing of horses in the same stables the same dropper or camel’s-hair brush may be used for all animals, but the dropper or brush should be sterilized before use upon different lots of horses. As soon as the mallein is introduced into the eye practically all animals show a lacrimation, increased reddening of the conjunctiva, and slight photo- phobia. No significance should be given to these symptoms. They disappear 34 LAWS, RULES, REGULATIONS eS SSS SE in one or two hours. A pseudo-reaction can be produced by artificial or acci- dental irritation of the eye. The characteristic ‘manifestation of the reaction for glanders commences as a rule from five to six hours and lasts twenty-four to thirty-six hours, some- times longer. It consists of a purulent discharge from the conjunctival sae which is typical and is frequently associated with reddening, swelling, and gluing of the eyelids. It is advisable to examine the tested animals in a good light from 12 to 24 hours, or preferably 16 hours, after the application of the test. A suppurative discharge of varying quantities is considered a positive reaction. The conjunctiva and the eyeball should also be included in the examination after the discharge. By removing the purulent discharge (either by the stable attendant or by the animals licking each other, etc.,) the positive resuit may be obliterated. In such cases dried pus may be frequently found on the parts around the eye, or the exposure of the conjunctiva by means of pressure by the thumb and finger will show fresh, purulent material. Generally the positive ophthalmic reactions are not accompanied by fever or systemic disturbances. Occasionally, however, affected horses are hyper- sensitive to such a degree that even the few drops of mallein placed in the eye may enter the circulation and produce fever. Therefore, it is advisable, when possible, to accompany the ophthalmic reaction with temperature read- ings. For this purpose the temperature should be taken twice, the first time when the eye test is being made, and the second time when it is judged. In a doubtful eye reaction where there is an increased temperature of 114° F., the test should be considered positive if the animal had a normal temperature at the time the test was made. In the absence of any secretion the test should be considered negative. When there is a mucous secretion or lacrimation during the period of reaction the test must be considered as atypical, and in such cases it may be repeated the same day, when as a rule the results are more confirming. The application of the ophthalmic test should not be repeated more than three times on the same animal within a short period, as experiments show that the reaction after the third application made within three months usually loses its intensity in positive cases and on subsequent tests may be entirely absent. In cases where the results of the second test immediately following the first test are atypical, the blood of such animals may be drawn and for- warded to a laboratory for the serum diagnosis, as the instillation of ophthal- mic mallein does not influence this method of diagnosis. From experience. gained with the eye test such a procedure would become ‘necessary only in a comparatively few cases. In the control of glanders, animals may be re- tested every six months with satisfactory results. The mallein for the eye test is a clear, sirupy, dark brown liquid, giving off a rancid, disagreeable odor. This mallein is supplied in small vials of three sizes containing, respectively, 1 cubic centimeter, 2 cubic centimeters, and 3 cubic centimeters of mallein. One cubic centimeter is sufficient for test- ing ten horses. Each bottle is dated, and the mallein is not recommended for use longer than three months after the date on the bottle. The bureau will NORTH DAKOTA LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD 3D be in a position to fill orders promptly, therefore only sufficient amounts for immediate needs should be requested. Partly used bottles should not be kept over from one day to another. The portion of mallein unused at the end of a day shouldbe. discarded. INSTRUCTIONS FOR RECORDING TEST. The results of the test should be recorded as follows: N = Negative. Hye unchanged. S = Suspicious: Seromucous discharge. P.+ = Positive. Seromucous discharge with purulent flakes. P+ -+= Positive. Distinct purulent discharge. P+-++= Positive. Purulent discharge with swelling of the eyelids. P++4+-+= Positive. Strong purulent discharge with swelling and oluing together of both lids.. REGULATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRI- CULTURAL BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY, FOR DISPOSITION OF CARCASSES OF ANIMALS AFFECTED WITH TUBERCU- LOSIS. / i3. Paragraph 1. The following principles are declared for guidance in passing on eareasses affected with tuberculosis: PRINCIPLE A. The fundamental thought is that meat should not be used for food if it contains tubercle bacilli, if there is a reasonable possibility that it may contain tubercle bacilli, or if it is impregnated with toxic substances of tuberculosis or associated septic infections. PRINCIPLE B. On the other hand, if the lesions are localized and not numerous, if there is no evidence of distribution of tubercle bacilli through the blood, or by other means, to the muscles or to parts that may be eaten with the muscles, and if the animal is well nourished and in good condition, there is no proof, or even reason to suspect, that the flesh is unwholesome. PRINCIPLE C. Evidences of generalized tuberculosis are to be sought in such distribution and number of tuberculosis lesions as can be explained only upon the supposition of the entrance of tubercle bacilli in considerable number into the systemic circulation. Significant of such generalization. are the presence of numerous uniformly distributed tubercles throughout both lungs, also tubercles in the spleen, kidneys, bones, joints, and sexual glands, and in the lymphatic glands connected with these organs and parts, or in the splenic, renal, prescapular, popliteal, and inguinal glands, when several of these organs and parts are coincidentally affected. PRINCIPLE D. By localized tuberculosis is understood tuberculosis limited to a single or several parts or organs of the body without evidence of recent invasion of numerous bacilli into the systemic circulation. Paragraph 2. The following rules shall govern the disposal of tuberculosis meat: . RuLE A. The entire carcass shall be condemned. 36 LAWS, RULES, REGULATIONS (a) When it was observed before the animal was killed that it was suf- fering with fever. atte (b) When there is a tuberculous or other cachexia, as shown by anemia and emaciation. (ec) When the lesions of tuberculosis are generalized, as shown by their presence not only at the usual seats of primary infection, but also in parts of the carcass or the organs that may be reached by the bacilli of tuberculosis only when they are carried in the systemic circulation. Tuberculous lesions in any two of the following mentioned organs are to be accepted as evidence of generalization when they occur in addition to local tuberculous lesions in the digestive or respiratory tracts, including the lym- phatic glands connected therewith: Spleen, kidney, uterus, udder, ovary, testicle, adrenal gland, brain, or spinal cord or their membranes. Numerous uniformly distributed tubercles throughout both lungs also afford evidence of generalization. : (d) “When the lesions of tuberculosis are found in the muscles or inter- muscular tissue or bones or joints, or in the body lymphatic glands as a result of draining the muscles, bones or joints. (e) When the lesions are extensive in one or both body cavities. _ (f) When the lesions are multiple, acute, and actively progressive. (Evi- dence of active progress consists in signs of acute inflammation about the lesions, or liquefaction necrosis, or the presence of young tubercles.) RuLE B. An organ or a part of a careass shall be condemned: (a) When it contains lesions of tuberculosis. (b) When the lesion is immediately adjacent to the flesh, as in the ease of tuberculosis of the parietal pleura or peritoneum, not only the membrane o7 part affected but also adjacent thoracic or abdominal wall is to be condemned (¢) When it has been contaminated by tuberculous material, throug? contact with the floor, a soiled knife, or otherwise. | (d) All heads showing lesions of tuberculosis shall be condemned. ; (e) An organ shall be condemned when the corresponding lymphatie gland is tuberculous. RULE C. The carcasses, if the tuberculous lesions are limited to a single or several parts or organs of the body (except as noted in Rule A), without evidence ot recent invasion of tubercle bacilli into the systemic circulation, shall be passed after the parts containing the localized lesions are removed and condemned in accordance with Rule B. RuLEeE D. Carcasses which reveal lesions more numerous than those de- scribed for carcasses to be passed (Rule C), but not so severe as the lesions described for carcasses to be condemned (Rule A), may be rendered into lard or tallow if the distribution of the lesions is such that all parts contain- ing tuberculous lesions can be removed. Such careasses shall be cooked by steam at a temperature not lower than 220 degrees Fahrenheit for not less than four hours. NORTH DAKOTA LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD 37 SUMMARY OF DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING THE MALLEIN TEST AS ESTABLISHED BY THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY. 1. Maliein is a sterile product, and should be kept in the sealed bottle until the time of being used. It should not be used if it has become clouded or after the expiration of six weeks from the date stamped on the label on the bottle. | 2. The dose of bureau mallein is 1 cubic centimeter for the average- sized, apparently healthy horse.. A large dose, not to exceed 2 cubic centi- meters, should be administered to extra-heavy, weakened, or aged animals, and +o those suspected of having glanders. The dose should be reduced accordingly for small animals. Animals exhibiting symptoms of acute diseases or those with suppurative lesions should not be injected until they have recovered. 3. The preferable site for injection is on the side of the neck about the center, where any local swelling is plainly visible. The hair should be clipped from an area about two inches in diameter, and the skin thoroughly cleaned with a disinfecting solution, such as three per cent. liquor cresolis compositus (U. 8S. P.) or five per cent. carbolic acid. 4. Carefully sterilize the syringe and needle before commencing the injection of each group of animals, and immerse the needle in a disinfecting solution béfore injecting each animal. It is better to use a separate syringe, needle, and thermometer for those animals which are exhibiting symptoms suspicious of glanders. Carbolized oii, vaseline, or lard should be used to facilitate the insertion of thermometers and also to disinfect them. 5. On the day of injection the temperature of each animal should he recorded not less than three times, at intervals of not less than two hours; for instance, at two, five and eight p. m. A careful clinical examination of each animal should also be made, and to each one some designation should be given by which the animal will be known throughout the test. Mallein may then be injected at eight or ten p. m., provided the preliminary tem- peratures were not abnormal. 6. After injection the temperatures should be again recorded. Starting at the expiration of not more than ten hours, and should be repeated at intervals of approximately two hours until expiration of at least twenty hours _ from the time of injection, and should be continued’ over a longer period in the case of an animal with a rising temperature at the twentieth hour, if at the same time a local reaction is present. 7. In order that a reaction produced by mallein may be considered posi- tive, it should evince the characteristics of a typical reaction; »that is, a combination of thermal, local, and general reactions. 8. By a typical reaction is to be understood a gradual rising of tem- perature of at least three degrees F. and to above 104. F., the maximum temperature being sustained in the form of a single or double plateau. It should be accompanied by a local as well as a general reaction. The local reaction consists of an infiltration at the site of injection, form- ing a large, abrupt, painful swelling, with radiating lymphatics appearing as / 38 LAWS, RULES, REGULATIONS raised cords, generally attaining greatest prominence at from 18 to 21 hours after injection. The general reaction is exhibited by a stiffened gait, depression, loss of appetite, and accelerated breathing. 9. The presence of a local reaction, especially when associated with a general reaction, should be regarded as evidence of glanders, even if the thermal reaction be slight or ahsent. 10. Animals giving a typical reaction, and those recording a maximum temperature of 103 degrees F'., should be retested after the expiration of not — less than fifteen days. ; SUMMARY OF DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING THE TUBERCULIN TEST AS ESTABLISHED BY THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT _ OF AGRICULTURE, BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY. 1. Stable cattle under usual conditions and among usual surroundings, feeding and watering in the customary manner. 2. Make a physical examination of each animal, and give to each one some designation by which it will be known throughout the test. 3. Take each animal’s temperature at least three times at two or three hour intervals on the day of injection; for instance, at two, five and eight p. m. When the last preliminary temperature (which would immediately ~ precede the injection) registers above 103 degrees F., the imjection of the tuberculin should not be made; the test of such animal should be postponed. 4. At ten p. m. inject a dose of tuberculin under the skin in the region of the shoulder, using a sterile hypodermic syringe after disinfecting the skin at the seat of injection with a 5 per cent. solution of carbolic acid or a similar antiseptic solution. 5. The dose of the tuberculin made by the Bureau of Animal Industry or the North Dakota Serum Laboratory is 2 ¢. ¢. for an adult animal weigh- ing about 750.pounds. ‘Yearlings and two-year-olds, according to size, should receive from 1 to 1% e¢. ¢., while bulls and very large animals may receive 3 ¢. c. Double or even triple doses should be given to cattle recently injected with tuberculin; also in the case of animals which, on physical exam- ination, are suspected of being tuberculous. 6. At 6 a.m. on the day followimg the injection of tuberculin commence taking temperatures, and continue every two or three hours until the twentieth hour after.injection, at which time if there is no tendency for the temperature to rise the test may cease. 7. A rise of two degrees EF. or more above the maximum temperature observed on the previous day, or one which goes above 103.8 degrees F., as well as those which show a rise of less than 2 degrees F., with a maximum temperature of 103.8 degrees F. or more, are to be regarded as suspicious. These suspicious cases should be held for a retest six weeks later, giving double © the original dose. NORTH DAKOTA LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD He DIRECTIONS: FOR DISINFECTION OF PREMISES. In the eradication of glanders, tuberculosis, or other communicable disease the thorough disinfection of premises is essential. This may be satisfactorily accomplished by carrying out the following directions: 1. Sweep ceilings, side walls, stall partitions, floors, and other surfaces until free from cobwebs and dust. ‘ 2. Remove all accumulations of filth by scraping, and if woodwork has become decayed, porous, or absorbent, it should be removed, burned, and replaced with new material. 3. If floor is of earth, remove four inches from the surface, and in places where it shows staining with urine a sufficient depth, should be replaced to expose fresh earth. All earth removed should be replaced with earth from an uncontaminated source, or a new floor of conerete may be laid, which is very durable and easily cleaned. 4. All refuse and material from stable and barnyard should be removed to a place not accessible to cattle or hogs in case of disinfecting for tuber- culosis, nor ‘accessible to horses or muies in case of disinfecting for glanders. The manure should be spread on fields and turned under, while the wood should be burned. 5. The entire interior of the stable, especially the feeding troughs and drains, should be saturated with a disinfectant, as liquor ecresolis compositus (U. S. P.), or carbolic acid, 6 ounces to every gallon of water in each ease. ' After this has dried, the stalls, walls, and ceilings may be covered with white- wash (lime wash), to each gallon of which should be added 4 ounces of chlorid of lime. The best method of applying the disinfectant and the lime wash is by means of a strong spray pump, such as those used by orchardists. This method is efficient in disinfection against most of the contagious and infectious diseases of animals, and should be applied immediately following any outbreak, and, as a matter of precaution, it may be used once or twice yearly. 6. It is important that arrangements be made to admit a plentiful supply of sunlight and fresh air by providing an ample number of windows, thereby eliminating dampness, stiffness, bad odors, and other insanitary conditions. Good drainage is also very necessary. If the use of liquor eresolis compositus, carbolic acid, or other coal-tar products is inadmissible because of the readiness with which their odor is imparted to milk and other dairy products, bichlorid of mercury may be used in the proportion of 1 to 800, or 1 pound of bichlorid to 100 gallons of water. However, all portions of the stable soiled with manure should first be thoroughly scraped and cleaned, as the albumin contained in manure would otherwise greatly diminish the disinfecting power of the bichlorid. Disin- fection with this material should be supervised by a veterinarian or other person trained in the handling of poisonous drugs and chemicals, as the bichlorid of mereury is a powerful corrosive poison. The mangers and feed boxes, after drying following spraying with this material, should be 40 | ‘LAWS, RULES, REGULATIONS washed out with hot water, as cattle are especially susceptible to m poisoning. The bichlorid solution should be applied by means of os pump, as § recommended for liquor eresolis compositus. i CONTENTS 4!
