Poultry Slaughtering.
There is no poultry slaughterhouse in the Borough.
Meat Marking Scheme under Part III of the Public Health
(Meat) Regulations, 1924.
This part of the Regulations enables a local authority where a
competent Inspector is employed to cause carcases to be stamped
with a distinctive mark, the purport of which is to declare that
the meat is free from disease and fit for the food of man. The
mark can only be applied under the following conditions: —
(1) That the marking of the carcase or part thereof is requested
by the owner.
(2) That the Inspector can only apply the mark after having
inspected the whole of the carcase with the organs in position.
Under this part of the Order no application was received by
this authority during the year.
