Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
The new slaughter-house licensed by the London County Council
for slaughtering horses for human food was frequently inspected,
and during the year 281 horses have been slaughtered on the premises,
and all were exported, compared with 93 in 1912.
During the year 323 inspections were made of these, but it
was only necessary to serve five notices for cleansing. The usual
cleansing was carried out by the occupiers at the proper times. I
have inspected all the slaughter-houses during the year, and I am
able to report that the By-laws have been observed.
During the year the Inspectors inspected the carcases of 494
cattle, 2,899 sheep, 223 pigs, and 34 calves in slaughter-houses
and butchers' shops, and reported that these were all sound when
exposed for sale.
