Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sixth Annual Report of the Commissioner of Animal Industry, 1917: For the Year Ending November 30, 1917 The prevalence of contagious disease among animals whose carcasses if healthy would be utilized for food operates to reduce the available supply, and when 'we consider that the carcasses of half a million animals were condemned in the United States during the year 1916 as unfit for human food, we realize what a large part contagious disease among live stock plays in increasing its cost. If tuberculosis affecting cattle and cholera affecting swine (taking these diseases as examples) were entirely stamped out, half a million carcasses would be yearly added to the food supply, together with many others whose production the saving of that large number of animals would make possible.
