When spac'en?w used for ani~nal disease research at Belts:VIlle, Maryland, IS released, the parasitic dis.!;ease studies can be expanded into the vacatedfacilities. Parasitic diseases, which makeimpossible for 'animals to utilize feed satfactorily, have a severe, though often Unnized, economic impact' on livestock pI'tion.

The compound in which the main buildingswill be enclosed will occupy about 30 acres ofland. The remainder of the land will be usedfor quarantine, housing, and pasture for largeand small animals to be used in diagnostic andresearch work. The compound will containlaboratory buildings, related service structures,and necessary office space.

The largest of the laboratory buildings isdesigned for· research in which small animalssuch as guinea pigs, rats,mice, and hamsterswill be used as test animals. They are cheaperto feed and easier to handle than the largerfarm animals. Many of the fundamental studiescan be made with small animals, although finalchecking of results must be made on the hostanimals-cattle, hogs, sheep, horses, or poultry.

As now planned, based on preliminary costestimates, the small-animal laboratory willhave 40 units for research and regulatory lab­oratory services, each unit completely isolatedfrom the others. These will include units forrelated research in bacteriology, and otherfields, as well as diagnostic work and biologicalproducts testing.

The five large-animal laboratories will be de­signed to permit two types of animal diseasestudies: initial-exploration and full-scale. Insome cases, a statistically sound exploratorystudy can be made with as few as ten animals.A full-scale study requires many more, depend­ing on the kind of experiment. Plans now

for regulatory activities. About 80 per centof the space will be allotted to research and20 per cent to regulatory work. The regulatoryactivities will cover all aspects of the work­assistance in diagnosis, testing of samples fromimported animals and products, testing' of bio­logics, pilot scale trial production of biologicsused in certain of the disease-eradication pro­grams, and so on.

In addition to the compound and its imme­diately adjacent service structures, there willbe barns and animal shelters, a sewage-decon­tamination plant, a steam plant, shops for thestorage and maintenance of equipment, andstorage buildings for feed. There will be quar­antine and holding areas for incoming animals.

The laboratories will not be open to casualvisitors after the work gets under way. Peoplegoing into the laboratories will need passes,and will be required to observe the same rigidrules of dressing and showering that the em­ployees follow.

Bl'oad scope of wOl·k. The addition of thislaboratory to the Department's animal diseaseresearch facilities will provide the means fora considerably stepped-up research attack ondomestic-animal diseases and parasites. Inthese more al;iequate facilities, scientists expect

that as many as 500 large animals, 2,000 s IIanimals, and 2,000 poultry may be used atUla 1;time in various experiments and laboratonejtests. Under the present plan, it will be po~:r;ble to conduct research on as many as 25 ;~'jferent animal diseases simultaneously. lL,
