Franklin Blackleg Serum Company Illustrated – lots of great photos of the company’s products From the web – history of the company: O. M. FRANKLIN SERUM COMPANY . . .In 1916 O. M. Franklin, a veterinarian, developed the first successful blackleg vaccine, Aggressin, in the United States in Wichita, Kansas. Blackleg had become a deadly cattle disease in the Midwest and the West. Franklin and three other veterinarians had been investigating the disease for four years at the Kansas Experiment Station at Manhattan. In 1916 they moved to Wichita, Kansas, where they built a small two-room plant to manufacture the drug. By 1917 they were joined by Charles E. Collins of Colorado and some other cattlemen to organized the Blackleg Serum Company of Kansas. That year they moved to Amarillo, Texas, where they built a new plant. Because Aggressin required the use of calves and was so expensive to manufacture, Franklin produced a cultural method of growing the blackleg bacteria in a liver broth and killed the germs with formalin. In 1918 the first blackleg bacterin was developed in Amarillo; it was tested on 50,000 calves in herds in the Texas Panhandle and Colorado for a period of four years. By 1923 the bacterin had proved itself, was patented, and sales began. Franklin is considered a pioneer is his use of formalin in the production of clostridial and other vaccines. At first the company produced only Aggressin and bacterin, but in 1925 it began to sell livestock supplies and by 1930 had added pharmaceutical supplies and other vaccines.
