Plan to Enforce Bovine Tuberculosis Act in Albany
Albany July 8 Plans for enforcing the act to aid the State Department of Agriculture in fighting bovine tuberculosis were discussed at a conference with Commissioner Pearson First Assistant Commissioner Flanders Dr W A Moore and seventeen veterinarians. The meeting noted record prospects for control due to higher indemnity for condemned animals and a requirement that sellers inform buyers in writing if an animal is diseased. Reports praised tuberculin testing alongside physical examinations and post mortem proofs. Pearson said the department will assist cattle owners with physical tests when tuberculin testing is not wanted though it provides quicker results and is generally preferred by dairymen.
