PULLORUM-TESTED POULTRY FLOCKS 1959
E ARLY in 1955, a n a m e n d m e n t to t h e Stock Diseases Act made blood-testing com- pulsory for all commercial breeding and hatchery flocks of poultry, and it was required t h a t the incidence of infection, as determined by the last test prior to t h e commencement of hatching, must be less t h a n two per cent.
For the seven years 1948-54 when blood- testing was on a voluntary basis the aver- age percentages of reactors were 5.43;
5.65; 5.95; 3.37; 2.53; 1.36 and 0.77 respec- tively.
The 1958 tests showed a n average per- centage of only 0.18 per cent, of reactors
—the lowest figure to be recorded—and t h i s was again achieved in t h e current season. Only 226 reactors were found in a total of 122,369 birds tested, and just over half t h e 69 flocks tested contained no reactors.
The breeds of poultry in t h e various flocks are indicated by t h e following abbreviations:—•

MALATHION
The World's
Greatest Insecticide has the Widest
Safety Margin
w^amamm^m^^mmamKmtmKaa^mmmt^^ MALATHION is the all-purpose insecticide?
with the greatest control over the widest range of insect pests. MALATHION wipes out pests on citrus fruit, deciduous fruit, vegetable and field crops. It is widely used in many parts of the world including Great Britain, Canada and the United States for the destruction of weevils and beetles attacking grains and seeds stored in bags and in silos, warehouses and the holds of ships. It is highly effective against livestock pests, flies and mosquitoes in the adult or larval stages, killing even those strains which have become resistant to Chlorinated Hydro- carbon insecticides.
MALATHION is deadly in action—yet is so safe to use that you need no protective clothing even when mixing the concentrate.
Whatever your husbandry—crops or livestock
—you need MALATHION, one of the greatest contributions of science to the protection of mankind's food supplies.
