■NG HI SAFE I I Sixty Per Cent Killed Under Federal Inspection. MM»>> 1 Hundred Million Meat Animals Slaughtered Each Year in United States —Tuberculosis Is Chief Cause of Condemnation. Washington.—More than 58,000,000 meat animals were slaughtered in establishments under federal inspection during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1915. Since approximately from 58 to 60 per cent of the animals killed in , the country are slaughtered in establishments where federal inspection is maintained, it appears that about 100,000,000 meat animals are now being ; killed each, year in the United States. ' Os the animals subjected to federal inspection, 299,958 were condemned as : unfit for human use, and 644,688 were condemned in part. Thus a litle more . than 1% per cent of all the animals inspected were condemned either in . whole or in part. These figures include only cattle, calves, sheep, goats and swine. Tuberculosis was the chief cause of the condemnations. More than 32,644 carcasses of cattle and 66,000 carcasses of swine were entirely rejected - on account of this disease, and in ad- . dition, parts of 48,000 cattle and 40,000 I swine. Hog cholera was responsible . for the next largest loss, nearly 102,000 swine being condemned entirely on this account. The annual appropriation for the federal meat inspection service is now about $3,375,000, so that the cost to the ' people would be between 5 and 6 cents ■ per animal and carcasses. In addition, ; however, great quantities of the meat - and products are re-inspected. In this item there was a very considerable increase during the last fiscal year, the re-inspection resulting in the condemnation of a total of nearly 19,000,000 pounds of products of one kind or another. Furthermore 245,000,000 pounds of imported meat or meat products were inspected, and more than 2,000,000 pounds condemned or refused entry. In the course of Its work, the bu- ’ reau of animal industry, which is in charge of the meat inspection service, has discovered a new method of destroying trichinae in pork, which is an additional safeguard to human health. Refrigeration at a tempera ture of 5 degrees, F., or lower, for a period of 20 days, will destroy these parasites which occasionally give rise in human beings to the serious disease known as trichinosis. Hitherto the only known safeguard against this disease has been thorough cooking of all pork and pork products, and those persons who neglect this precaution have always been more or less exposed to the danger. Unless pork is known to have been subjected to refrigeration as above indicated, it should be thor- • oughly cooked. The microscopic examination of pork for the detection of trichinae has been abandoned as the usual methods have proved inefficient. In this connection it is interesting to note that more swine were slaughtered in the past year in establishments under fefcral inspection than ever before. A total of 36,247,953 were inspected at the time of slaughter, and approximately 35,900,000 passed for food.
