During the year 134 bovines were slaughtered under the Tuberculosis (Slaughter of Reactors Order, 1950, following tuberculin tests by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries & Food in pur- suance of the Area Eradication Plan. This is the reason for the high percentage of animals found affected with Tuberculosis. The outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease in the early Autumn in this area seriously curtailed slaughtering, and the butchers bought imported or home killed meat from wholesalers. Although the restrictions was lifted in December, the slaughtering of fatstock has not returned to normal.
