POULTRY SPECIALIST URGES LIVE
VIRUS FOR NEWCASTLE DISEASE
By RIXFE HUNTER
(In Winston-Salem Journal) I
Dr. F. R. Beaudette of the'
poultry department of Rutgers
niversity told approximatel'
500 poultrymen here Thursday
night they had no reason to be
alarmed about the outbreak of
Newcastle disease in Northwest
ern North Carolina.
Poultrymen and interested
farmers from Forsyth) Wilkes,
Surry and other counties packed
the Town Hall here to hear "Dr.
Beaudette, a recognized poultry
specialist, urge the use of a live
vaccine in treating the disease.
The use of live vaccine has here
tofore been prohibited In this
State except in special instances.
Dr. Beaudette briefly outlined
the history and the symptoms of
the disease, explaining that it
has never been as bad in the
United States as in other coun
tries.
In most countries, he said, the
mortality rate usually has been
100 per cent, but the highest
mortality rate in the United
States was 80 per cent in Utah
last year.
Mortality Rate Light
The disease in this section has
had a very light mortality rate
a survey of poultrymen showed
yesterday.
Dr. Beaudette explained that
the mortality rate depends on
the strain of the virus with
which the chicken is infected and
the age of the chicken. The
younger the chicken, he said,
the heavier the death rate.
The disease starts like a cold,
he added, and is often confused
with Vitamin E deficiency and
other respiratory diseases. It
may be transmitted by visitors
to chicken farms, used feed
bags, wild birds and chicken
mites, he said.
The virus will live outside the
chicken, but not for more than
72 hours, and the disease is not
as contagious as people here
have been led to believe, he add
ed. The disease can not be in
herited through the egg, he said.
The longer the disease goes
unchecked in an area, however,
the higher the mortality rate
will become, the poultry special
ist said.
Then, turning to the subject
of vaccination, Dr. Beaudette,
who county agents here said is
connected with -a. laboratory
manufacturing live virus vac
cine, commented:
"All successful immunization
or vaccination for all diseases
have been accomplished with live
agents.
"In dead virus vaccine, the
best immunization you can hope
to achieve is 85 per cent if the
chickens are old enough and less
in younger chickens."
| Dr. Beaudette also said th
immunization period created by
use of a dead virus vaccine
would last no longer than four
months and in some cases only
three weeks.
He strongly supported use of
live vaccine, saying "a proper
ly prepared live virus -vaccine
should not cause more than two
per cent mortality in young
chickens.
"We have every reason to be
lieve that the duration of such
immunization is for life."
He added that the danger of
spreading the disease through
the use of live virus vaccine was
not too great. His department
vaccinated 125,000 chickens in
New Jersey, he said, and in only
one case was the disease spread
to other chickens.
He also stressed that parental
immunity caused by live vaccine
is handed down through the egg
and will cause the offspring to
be immune to the disease for
four weeks after it is hatched.
Dr. Beaudette said live vac
cine would cut down on the egg
production of laying hens, but
that they would be back to nor
mal production in four weeks.
"Do not vaccinate day-old
chicks with live vaccine, how
ever," he said.
Poultry farmers in this area
agreed that the disease does not
seem to be killing many chick
ens. E. M. Huffman, hatchery
owner, said he knew a man with
3.000 small chicks and that all
but 600 died when the disease
hit, but he knew another man
with 4,500 broilers who lost only
10 per cent and a third man
with 1,800 laying hens who lost
ony one per cent although egg
production dropped to zero.
Dr. H. J. Rollins, State vet
erinarian; Dr. L. M. Greene,
poultry pathologist of the State
Department of Agriculture and
Dr. B. F. Cox, research veteri
narian at State College, were all
present at last night's meeting.

The leading project of Cashiers
Home Demonstration Club members
in Jackson County during the past
few years has been the establish

which devotes its entire time to
preventative medicine, according to
Mary E. Johnston, county home
demonstration agent for the State
College Extension Service.
