Commission on cattle plague returns from Saratoga meeting
The National Commission to investigate neuro-pneumonia in cattle and to find ways to secure Britain’s removal of the embargo has returned from the Saratoga session. Led by Prof. James Law, with Dr. Thayer and J. H. Sanders, the panel reviewed findings, stressed that strict export inspection cannot guarantee disease-free cattle, and outlined tracing, registration, and sanitary studies to resolve the issue. The inquiry also addresses disease spread from Eastern dairy calves and Western herds, and ships’ sanitation linked to origin.
