Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book examines the spread, impact, and history of bovine tuberculosis—a contagious disease that affects cattle and, when transmitted through milk or meat, can cause consumption in humans. Through experimentation and historical analysis, the author illuminates the origins of the disease, its effects on both cattle and people, and its disastrous prevalence in dairy herds. The author argues that, while the disease was initially recognised as a specific entity only in the late 19th century, its devastating effects were observed in cattle for a long time before. The author demonstrates that bovine tuberculosis is preventable and urges farmers to adopt the tuberculin test to identify infected animals and implement isolation measures to protect their herds. He also highlights the need for state intervention to ensure that milk from tuberculous cows is not sold and to promote better standards of housing and ventilation in cowsheds. The book concludes that, by working together, farmers and the government can eliminate or at least control this disease, improving the health and well-being of both cattle and humans. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
