Treatment Of Disease: ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY was founded in 1901 by John D. Rockefeller, Sr., "to conduct, assist, and encourage investigations in the sciences and arts of hygiene, medicine and surgery, and allied subjects, in the nature and causes of disease and the methods of its prevention and treatment, and to make knowledge relat-bg to these various subjects available for the protection of the health of the public and the mproved treatment of disease and injury."
In modern poultry production, thousands o chickens are raised in close proximity to eacl other. Under these circumstances, the spread o disease can be extremely rapid, and losses fron disease can be serious. The monetary loss in thf United States each year from chicken disease: has been estimated to be as high as $300 million Disease control requires measures aimed at the prevention of outbreaks as well as the proper diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The most generally encountered diseases of poultry are the following:
A common disease of both fresh and salt water fish is fin rot, which is a bacterial disease easily detected because the fins first become frayed at the edges and then gradually deteriorate toward the base. This may be treated with the antibiotic terramycin, which commonly comes in 250 milligram capsules. It should be applied at the rate of 250 milligrams to every five gallons of water. The capsules must, of course, be opened and the contents put in the water for more rapid solution.
If a fish does not respond to treatment within a week or ten days, the wisest thing to do is to dispense with treatment and dispose of the ailing fish.
