Abstract
REVIEWING the ten-monthly period ending June 1948, the secono report of the Animal Health Trust describes the completion of the requisition of land and buildings for the Trust's Canine Research Station air Newmarket and the Farm Livestock Research Station at St. Ives. At the former, research has been restricted to studies of a clinical nature including para-distemper, night blindness and Scotch cramp, while at the Poultry Research Station, established on the fifty-acre parkland adjoining Houghton Grange, St. Ives, diseases of the respiratory track have been the priority subjects of investigation. Progress has also been made in the investigations being carried out at the Equine Research Station at Balaton Lodge and Lanwades Park, Newmarket, into infertility, parasitology and diseases of foalhood. During the ten months, the Trust has granted a number of research fellowships to individual workers who wished to continue investigations of an independent nature, and helped some veterinary surgeons to go abroad to widen their experience. Six county committees of the Trust have been formed and eleven others are in the process of being established.
