DISEASES OF ANIMALS (WASTE FOODS) ORDER, 1957.
The work of licencing and controlling plants for boiling waste
food was delegated by the Kent County Council during 1957. It
is principally designed to prevent disease in animals fed on swill.
Visits have been paid to ten plants known to exist in the
district. It was found that six of them fell within the licencing
provisions of the Order, and accordingly licences were issued.
Opportunity was taken to make some improvements and three
faults were remedied.
