Summary "Contagious Abortion of Cows" by Ward J. MacNeal is a scientific publication produced in cooperation with Herbert W. Mumford and published in the early 20th century. The work serves as a bulletin from the University of Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station, addressing the serious issue of contagious abortion in cattle, a disease recognized for its economic impact on the livestock industry. The text reviews the bacterium responsible for the disease, its transmission, and offers guidelines for prevention and management. In the bulletin, MacNeal outlines the historical context and scientific investigations into contagious abortion of cows, documenting the identification of the infective bacterium. The publication details the results of various studies that demonstrate the disease's transmissibility and provides a comprehensive account of effective measures for diagnosis, treatment, and eradication of the disease in cattle herds. Practical recommendations include isolating affected animals, disinfecting contaminated environments, and managing the breeding process to ensure herd health and reduce losses due to abortion. Overall, it serves as a valuable resource for farmers and veterinarians seeking to understand and combat this significant agricultural challenge. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
