Disposal of Diseased Meat.
Diseased meat and offal was released under supervision for
industrial purposes. Prior to release a powerful dye or strong
disinfectant was usually sprinkled over it to render it useless for
the food of man. In other cases the placing of the diseased
material in a digester at the premises where it was being destroyed
was witnessed.
We are pleased to be able to record that we were again
successful in effecting the voluntary surrender of all meat and
offal found to be diseased.
Times of Slaughtering.
Slaughtering occurred in the Borough on all days of the
week, including Sunday, and took place at all times of the day :
as a result the work of inspection frequently had to be continued
until a late hour and also had to be performed on Sundays and
on Public Holidays.
Prosecutions.
It was not deemed necessary to report any cases for legal
proceedings as the infringements of the regulations and bye-laws
which were observed were remedied following verbal warnings
or warning letters.
