VETERINARY SCIENCE
ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COMMUNITY fP«* Unhid Press Association. 1 WELLINGTON, duly 2. Addressing the New Zealand Veterinary Association’s conference to-day, Sir Francis Frazer drew attention to the growing importance of veterinary science to the community. By strengthening the veterinary profession the poorquality of meat exported could be prevented. In New Zealand there was one qualified veterinary practitioner to every 750,000 head of stock of all kinds, whereas in England and in the United States there was one to every 16,000. There were not enough veterinarians in New Zealand to ensure the eradication of bovine tuberculosis, the paucity being due to the failure of farmers to recognise the importance of veterinary science. The co-operation of medical veterinary services was required more than ever to conserve the health of the public.
