Agricultural Writers Manual On Infectious Diseases PDF Download

Excerpt from Ars Special Report: Agricultural Writers' Manual on Infectious Animal Diseases; Ars 22-30; October 1956 The huge and complicated livestock industry, which feeds millions of people and gives a livelihood to farmers, handlers, tradesmen, and others, is subject to constant danger from diseases having potential effects that range from slight debilitation and economic loss to decimation of flocks and herds. A number of these diseases may affect man. This manual on infectious animal diseases has been prepared as a working tool for reporters and others whose responsibilities include public relations work with livestock and poultry raisers. Some of the diseases covered, such as rinderpest and foot-and-mouth, are not now present in the United States. But increasing worldwide travel and transportation make ever more difficult the job of keeping these and other foreign diseases out of the country. If one of them should gain entrance, the need for prompt action would be acute. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
