Food—Inspection of.—Inspector Wilkinson reports that during the year he has
paid 907 visits to the 17 Slaughter Houses now on the register, including one Horse
Slaughter House, and that he has ascertained that 12,200 animals were killed therein,
namely, 1,005 oxen and cows, 64 calves, 7,110 sheep and lambs, and 4,021 horses for human
consumption, the whole of which were exported. These were mostly of good quality
and free from disease, but in 26 cases meat and organs found to be diseased were destroyed
(vide table on page 44).
The food destroyed or otherwise disposed of (chiefly for pigs' food) so as to prevent
its use for human food was as follows :
