CATTLE INFECTION
PRECAUTIONS IN ENGLAND In discussing the efforts being taken in Great Britain to prevent the introduction of foot-and-mouth disease from Hie Continent, Mr D. A. Cabot, of the Ministry of Agriculture, said that in Germany alone 300,000 outbreaks had occurred this year, compared with only 157 in Great Britain. lie went on to say that the stringent regulations made it unlikely that the disease would be brought to England by means of imported live animals. It was shown, however, in 1926, when an outbreak in Scotland was traced to diseased pig carcasses imported from the Continent, that this was a serious channel of infection. As a result of this discovery an embargo from the Continent had been imposed and maintained.
