Dec. 17th, 1915.
Dear Sir,—
I beg to report that I have completed the inspection of
the milch cows in the district, as shown in the accompanying list.
I made a careful examination of each udder and found a few
affected with induration of the quarter, resulting from previous
attack of mammitis, a usual condition among milking cows. There
were also two or three cases of mammitis, which, under treatment,
appeared to be progressing favourably.
With regard to Tuberculosis of the Udder, I did not meet
with any cow showing symptoms of that disease, a very satisfactory
condition which I think may be attributed to the effects
of periodic inspection and the practice of owners of disposing of
cows showing unaccountable symptoms of udder disease.
The animals throughout the district had benefitted by the
favourable conditions of pasture during the autumn, and their
appearance was satisfactory.
I am, dear Sir,
Yours obediently,
(Signed) H. H. Hide. M.R.C.V.S.
