Book Description
Excerpt from Third Annual Report of the Bureau of Animal Industry for the Year 1886 Sm: I have the honor to submit herewith the Third Annual Re port of the Bureau of Animal Industry, containing an account of the work during the past year for the suppression of the disease known as contagious pleuro-pneumonia or lung plague of cattle, and also of the investigations of this and other diseases of our do mestic animals, and in regard to the present condition of the animal industry of the United States. Since writing my Annual Report for 1885, the outbreak of pleuro pneumonia which began in Harrison County, Kentucky, in 1884, and which was allowed to continue there until March of this year, has been entirely suppressed. This would not have been possible except for the act of the legislature authorizing the condemnation of the afiected animals and providing compensation for them, and the cor dial co-operation of the State Board of Health with the representa tive of this Bureau. All of the exposed animals were slaughtered and deeply buried, the stables and yards disinfected, and the locality kept under supervision until all danger of a reappearance of the disease was past. Dr. W. H. Wray deserves much credit for the professional skill and business capacity shown by him in the man agement of this outbreak, which for many reasons was unusually dificult to control.
