12
horses (inclusive also of the Dust Department) lost
only 7 horses, this satisfactory result was principally
attributable to the excellent supervision maintained
at the respective stables and also to the marked
care and watchfulness evinced by their Veterinary
Mr. Frederick Stanley, during the prevalence of
the epidemic. Excepting a few ordinary cases of
illness the stud is at this time in very good
condition.
Health of
Horses.
The cost of the fodder, &c., expended in the
keep of the 68 horses for watering and slopping
purposes amounted to £3,489 6s. 5d., during the
past twelve months, this averages about 19s. 9d.
per horse, per week, being somewhat in excess of
the last year's calculation, which is accounted for
by the increase in the prices of horse provender,
which ruled throughout the year.
