About the Book
Excerpt from Report on Inoculation for Pleuro-Pneumonia in Cattle Report by the Chief Inspector of Stock, shewing the result of the Enquiry, as to the effect of Inoculation, for Pleuro-pneumonia, October, 1869. Agreeably to instruct-ions from the Honorable the Minister for Lands of April last, copies of the Circular and series of questions, forming Appendix A to this Report, have been distributed by the Inspectors of Sheep among owners possessed of more than 200 head of cattle. To those circulars and questions 501 replies have been received, of which 279 are from owners who inoculated their herds, and 222 from those who have not done so. In the case of the former, the greater part of these replies convey the required information, but in many of the latter they are both meagre and incomplete. For the satisfaction of the public, the replies of owners to the more important questions, such as 1, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, and 15, in the returns of inoculated herds, and 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11, in those of the unin oculated have been printed in the owner's own words, and form Appendices B and C hereto. The answers to questions 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 - relating to the mode of procuring the virus and of inoculating, have, in all the returns except No. 27 9* been omitted, as they contain no better information on these points than the directions given in the Report on Pleuro-pneumonia, laid before Parliament in 1868. Tabulated lists of these returns by owners of inoculated and unin oculated herds have also been prepared, and form Appendices D and E. They give the substance of the more important replies by owners, and shew whether they are in favour of, or against, inoculation, and whether they approve or disapprove of compulsory inoculation where the cattle are infected. Of these lists, again, two abstracts, forming Appendices F and Or, have been drawn up, to Show at a glance the result of the enquiry as regards inoculation and legislation.
