História biográfica

The County Council was required to take vigorous measures to deal with various diseases of animals, including swine fever, foot and mouth disease and fowl pest. Order made by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, enforced by the Council, aimed at controlling the movement of animals during epidemics and preventing disease. Control of movement was achieved by a system of licensing and for this purpose qualified veterinary surgeons were employed as inspectors.

The Council was also responsible for enforcing the Fertilizers and Feeding Stuffs Act, 1926, which dealt with the sale and purchase of solid and liquid fertilizers and of feeding-stuffs for horses, cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry. It was required that the seller must supply the analysis of the main constituents on every sale of these materials. Sellers' premises were visited by inspectors to ensure that information of the type required was being given, and samples were taken and checked by the County agricultural analyst.
