D. Ray, DVM. speaking before the Rotary Cluh at its weekly luncheon meeting at: the First. Presbyterian Church Monday, explained the deeply complicated work of manufacturing vaccines and serums for animals. Dr.

Rny president, and director of the Affiliated Laboratories Corporation at White Hall, one of about. 15 such private enterprises in the United Stales, told Rotary members his company manufactures principally hog cholera vaccines and serums. The idea for the origin of hog cholera vaccine, stated Dr. Ray, was begun as a secret, government mission several years ago. when the government: was seeking a good vaccine aRainst.

cattle diseases, including the famed Rind- erpest (not common in the U. S.I and swine diseases. Hog Cholera and Rinderpest in cattle are much alike, Dr. Ray said. Used By using rabbits, a virus was prepared for vaccine for cattle, and eventually a hog cholera virus was established by using certain strains of rabbits.

Injection of both a vaccine and serum protects pigs immediately, according to Dr. Ray, but only the injection of vaccine will render the disease harmless only after a few weeks. Al White Hall, said Dr. Ray, there is a small dose of scrum used with vaccine. He went into the methods of making the vaccine in the dried state, grinding up various tissues from hogs and inserting in frozen steak.

This is kept at a temperature of 40 degrees below zero or colder, then is put in a vacuum-sealed chamber for a period ranging from 24 to 36 hours. The vaccine in a dried state is considered much more stable than in a liquid state, and will remain stable for one year or more, while the liquid vaccine is considered good only from four to 6 six weeks. "It takes 22 pigs to test one batch of vaccine, also two rabbits, two guinea pigs, three mice and 40 culture tubes," Dr. Ray said. The veterinary biologic labora- ory now employs about 12, including a bacteriologist, tw.o vcler- narians and trained lay techni- ians.

Ilecelves License In operation three or four months, the lab received a license for its first product only last Saturday, according to Ray. Eventually the corporation hopes to make vaccines from one-half incubated chicken eggs and also anti-swine erysipelas serum from horses. Herb Wickenhauscr was in charge of the meeting, the first at which Cops Kayser, new Rotary president, presided. Visiting Rotarians were: Ray Ready, Rusty Clark, Roy Maxfield, Dave Saylor, M. R.
