Disease as a Problem in Animal Production

American National Live Stock Association

Abstract

I consider it a distinct honor as a layman to appear before you men who consider matters relating to animal production from a more technical and scientific standpoint. Only the need of close cooperation between livestock producers and those who are trying to perfect methods of controlling animal disease leads me to believe that I might say anything which would be of interest to you. For eight and one-half years I have served as secretary of the American National Live Stock Association, and during that time I have had opportunity to keep in close touch with the western producers of cattle. I know something of their problems; partly from this contact and partly because of my previous practical experience. I am glad, therefore, to make observations as to the part disease plays as a factor in animal production and also the reactions of producers to the various moves which have been made, largely as rules and regulations, relating to the control of animal disease.
