Jan. 01, 1966 - The Dimensions of an Epidemic: contracts slowly the Muzzle and Paw Pestilence (Maul - und Klauenseuche) which rages mainly in South and Northeast Germany. The federal food ministry has caused the vaccine producers to bring their production to a high speed they do also negotiate with governments abroad in order to be able to import effective vaccines as fast as possible. Only in Bavaria have till now 227 farm steads been attacked by this disease. Every week are here vaccinated 200, 000 animals, but in the meantime did they find out that also vaccinated neat and pigs are not immune from this pestilence. Photo Shows in the Bavarian institution for animal breeding in Grub near Munich, one of the most modern arrangements of this kind, are regularly routine vaccinations carried out in order to hinder pestilences (left). Achtung! Seuchengefahr (Attention! Danger of Pestilence!) warns a placard at the entrance to the stables in Grub. An employee of the institution goes with the vaccine to the dangered animals. But before this must he go over a carpet which is soaked wit ha disinfectant (adherent right)
