N. G. POULTRYMEN
WARNED OF NEW
FLOCK DISEASE
RALEIGH, March 19 ? This
State's poultry industry is threat
ened by Newcastle disease, say
State Agriculture Department
poultry disease specialists. This
highly contagious disease has been
found in the vicinity of Denton in
Davidson county and is suspected
in Chatham county and in other
sections of the State.
Dr. William ^Ioore believes the
disease is more serious than Pul
lorum, upon which the State and
proximately $60,000 per year for
control and eradication..
Symptoms of the disease are
similar to bronchitis, with the af
fected chickens becoming extreme
ly nervous, but visibly depressed
and weak. These conditions are us
ually followed by a twisting of the
head and neck to such an extent
that in some sections of the" Na
tion Newcastle is referred to as
"airplane disease," reported L. J.
Fourie, who is in charge of poul
try disease work for the Veterin
ary iDivsion of the Department.
On the poultry farm on which it
was discovered near Denton, the
owner lost 65 per cent of his chicks
within six weeks.
Although Newcastle disease does
not affect the human body in any
way, persons working with poul
try can transmit it from one flock
to another.
There is no known cure for New
castle Disease. '
Investigations are now under
way throughout the State, and any
farmers or poultrymen observing
a sudden drop in egg production
or other symptoms of the disease
are requested to contact immedi
ately the Veterinary Division of
ary Division of the Department.
