Order of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries
(Dated 13th February, 1913.)
Tuberculosis Order of 1913.
This Order aims at securing the destruction of every cow found to
be suffering from tuberculosis of the udder, or to be giving tuberculosis
milk, as well as of all bovine animals which are suffering from tuberculosis
with emaciation, since these are known to disseminate freely the germs
of the disease.
