XII. DISEASES OF ANIMALS ACTS.
I am indebted to Mr. A. H. Sly, Inspector under these
Acts, for the following details:—
Licences issued 21
Inspection of animals brought into the
Borough:—
(a) Sheep 155
(b) Pigs 3,915
(c) Beasts 4
Swine Fever Nil.
No suspected outbreak of swine fever was reported.
Two milch cows with calf at foot in each case were licensed
into the Borough under the Animals (Landing from Ireland,
etc.), Order, 1923.
The Borough experienced a year of health in regard
to animal diseases; to this end it would seem that the steps
taken under the Orders of the Ministry of Agriculture and
Fisheries as a preventative, including twice the dipping of
sheep within 14 days during the sheep dipping period laid
down by the Ministry, assisted considerably in giving the
Borough a clean bill of health during the period under
review.
XIII. RAG FLOCK ACTS, 1911-1928.
No samples have been taken, but inspections have been
made of upholstery workshops. Only clean wool flock is
used in the few upholstery workshops in this district.
