PUBLIC HEALTH (MEAT) REGULATIONS, 1924.

slaughterhouses for the purpose of inspecting animals

slaughterhouses are used regularly every week, and
it must be said that all three butchers kill prime
cattle, sheep and pigs, therefore the amount of disease
found is comparatively small and confined usually
to the organs only.
The following is a list of animals killed:—
