A licence was granted to a local firm for the bottling of "Grade
A" milk.
During the year 5 samples of "Grade A" milk were submitted
for examination, four of which were satisfactory.
I communicated with the County Medical Officer in respect of
one unsatisfactory sample, who later informed me that matters
had been remedied.
The one sample of "Grade A" (Tuberculin Tested) milk was
found to be satisfactory.
MEAT INSPECTION.
Owing to proximity to the Central Meat Markets, the district
receives almost entirely the whole of its supply from this source.
The inspectors visit the two slaughter-houses in use when
carcases and viscera are examined for evidence of disease.
During the year 109 notifications to slaughter were received,
and 3 beasts, 86 pigs, 611 sheep and 156 calves examined.
Diseased meat weighing 9 cwt. 25 lbs. as set out in the table
below was condemned and destroyed :—
