HC Deb 25 November 1946 vol 430 c199W
53. Mr. Kendall

asked the Minister of Agriculture what effective treatment has been discovered for dysentery in lambs; and what is the nature of it.

Mr. T. Williams

There are two means of controlling lamb dysentery effectively, namely, by the use of serum administered to the lamb shortly after birth, or by vaccinating the ewe before lambing; but farmers are advised to obtain a copy of Advisory Leaflet No. 214, which explains the nature and treatment of the disease. The leaflet can be obtained free from my Department.
