Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report of a Visit to Great Britain and the Continent of Europe: In the Winter of 1897-98 Sir, - I beg to submit the following report of my recent visit to Britain, France, Germany and Denmark, and to direct your attention to the suggestions deduced from a careful, though somewhat hurried study of various matters appertaining to health of animals; and more especially to contagious disease affecting them, which I trust may be found useful in assisting the deliberations of the department in relation to these matters which are of such vital importance to agriculture. Arriving at Liverpool on the 30th December, I met, that evening, two of the Canadian Live Stock Agents, Messrs. Elliott and Rodgers, of Toronto, with whom I made an arrangement to visit the cattle sheds and lairages at Birkenhead next morning, where we met Mr. Williams, of Brampton, Ont., and Mr. Piers, of Toronto; by the latter we were shown over the lairages. On the arrival at the ports in Great Britain, the steamships are docked at floating wharfs and the cattle landed, whence they are driven by runways to the large cattle sheds, which are divided into yards and alleyways. Those at Liverpool are several stories high and are similarly divided. The yards are furnished with feeding conveniences and are kept perfectly clean, ventilation and light are carefully provided for. In one part may be seen United States cattle, in another Argentine, and in another Canadian. They are consigned to agents who assume charge of them, see to their care and feeding and effect the sales. They may be sold privately or by auction. Under the existing regulations they must be slaughtered within ten days of their landing, and may be sold on foot or in quarters. The offal, hides, etc., are disposed of by the buyer or agent as the case may be. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
