... and the embodiment of animal health. Yet diseases of sheep cause an annual loss estimated in money values at over £1, 000, 000. Mastitis, a disease which attacks dairy cows, alone reduces our milk supply by nearly 48 million gallons a year. Although Britain has done more than any other nation to raise the standard of animal breeding, we can ill afford such losses when food is a major problem. The British veterinary profession, helped by the work of the research chemist and the products of the British chemical industry, is setting out to reduce them. The duty of the veterinary surgeon, “ the physician of the farm ”, is to prevent disease as well as to control and cure it. For these purposes he must have a wide and growing range of chemicals — ranging from simple salts to make good the mineral deficiencies in their food or pastures which cause wasting diseases in animals, to complex synthetic compounds used to remedy certain glandular troubles including forms of sterility. He needs a variety of disinfectants and antiseptics to destroy germs; arsenical, sulphur and derris compounds to check external parasites; and organic products, such as phenothiazine, to purge animals of parasitic worms. Sulphonamides and flavines help him to combat strangles in horses, mastitis in cattle and pneumonia in pigs. He exercises increasing control over many diseases by chemically treated vaccines. The vaccine for dog distemper involves the use of formalin and a recently developed vaccine for swine fever, of crystal violet. These are great advances. But such serious diseases as tuberculosis, Johne’s disease and contagious abortion still await specific cure. The alliance between the veterinary profession, the research chemist and the British chemical industry is already a close one, but it must be developed and strengthened before it can be expected to cut Britain’s annual bill for animal ill-health to a figure which the nation can view without anxiety.
