THE REPORT OF THE VETERINARY OFFICER.
The dairy cattle and cowsheds, within the Borough
boundaries, are inspected every month, and as other occasion may
demand, under the provisions of the Acts and Orders relating to
the milk supply ; and at the same time the hygienic conditions
governing the production of milk are supervised. Also, when as
a result of the examination of a sample of milk which has been
produced outside the Borough it is found that the supply is
infected with Mycobacteria tuberculosis, a visit is made to the
premises of the producer, in consultation with the veterinary staff
of the appropriate Local Authority, with the object of tracing the
source of infection.
