Another Exotic Newcastle Case
At the expense of being an alarmist, word has just been received that Exotic Newcastle
Disease has been diagnosed in a private aviary in Longv'iew, Texas. The usual steps have
been taken to eliminate the disease to prevent further spread. This case was d'iscovered
after tracing birds from a dealer in Miami, Fla., where an outbreak was confirmed
March 24. As shipments went from the Florida operation to 27 states, we must be cautious
and on guard to insure the disease doesn't find its way to comnercial flocks.
In another development, USDA has halted the importation of exotic birds in view of
the recent outbreaks which also include California. This action means the value of these
birds wil'l increase with the result that the traffic in illegal birds (smugg'ling) wi'l'l
probably increase. l^le in New Mexico, particularly along the Mexican border should take
extra precaut'ion to insure our poultry is protected by vaccination against this serious
infection. Another step is to insure visitors and similar peop'le do not enter our pouitry
facilities as they may carry the infection if they have been exposed to birds with the
i nfecti on.
Be alert and
