The amount of meat rejected was appioximately the same as
ast year but the overall total shows a reduction of some 6%.
It is interesting to note that 363 bags r f Irish Tripe and 98 bags
of Irish Beef were rendered free from oil vt.pt ur taint by treatment
with Ozone and further to report that 2,318 cai cases of Reindeer
were landed during the year and passed as fit after examination by
che Food Inspectors.
Caseous Lymphadenitis.—This disease, sometimes called
" pseudo-tuberculosis" occurs mainly in sheep although it is
occasionally found in cattle, rabbits and chickens. It is met
i sually in imported sheep carcases and is often the cause of meat
being rejected as unfit for human consumption. It follows, therefore,
that much time and attention is given by the Food Inspectors
to this disease during their inspections at the wharves and cold
storage plants in the Borough.
It is worthy of note that although more than 150,000 carcases,
etc., of meat were landed none was rejected as a result of Caseous
Lymphadenitis and only 3 minor lesions removed.
