Testing for Pullorum
There are several methods of test­
ing birds for pullorum disease. In
all cases the basic principle in­
volved is the same as in the test
for avian or bovine tuberculosis
infectious abortion in cattle typhoid
in humans etc. In the case of pull­
orum testing, says a writer in the
Montreal Herald, the procedure is
briefly this. A sample of blood of a
bird is brought into contact with a
standardized suspension of Salmon­
ella Pullorum organisms in a saline
solution. This liquid is called antigen.
When antigen comes into contact
either with the blood or serum of the
infected bird a definite reaction
takes place which can be easily ob­
served by an experienced techni­
cian. If properly conducted the test
is very effective in detecting the
reactors, which should then be
