Tuberculosis Order of 1925.
A sample of mixed milk, taken in the course of
routine visits, on examination proved to be tubercular
infected. The animals on the farm concerned were
inspected by the Veterinary Officer and one cow was
discovered to be suffering from tuberculosis. Action was
at once taken under the above Order and the cow was
slaughtered. Post mortem examination disclosed an
advanced condition of tuberculosis in the animal.
