Headline Egg-Cultured Vaccine to Protect Cattle

Caption Description Eradiation of rinderpest, the cattle disease which kills some 2,000,000 farm animals every year is now a practical possibility, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), reports. During the war American and Canadian scientists discovered that by growing the virus inside hen’s eggs, speedy mass production of rinderpest vaccine is possible. Here, a FAO technician is seen harvesting, egg membranes rich in rinderpest virus.
