THE REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE TRI- 



FOLIUM MILK SUPPLY COMPANY 



IN COPENHAGEN, DENMARK. 



I. THE WORK OF THE COMPANY SHALL BE UNDER THE SUPER- 



VISION OF A COMMITTEE OF CONTROL CONSISTING OF A 

 PHYSICIAN AND A VETERINARIAN. 



II. THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY TO THE COMMITTEE OF 



CONTROL SHALL BE AS FOLLOWS. 



1. Milk may be taken only from herds that have been ap-

 use of the tuberculin test, and these herds shall be retested at 

 least once a year. Milk may be received from a tuberculosis- 

 free part of a herd only after the committee has investigated 

 the conditions, and has given its approval. In this case, the 

 healthy part of the herd is to be kept entirely apart from 

 the reacting section, it is to be retested at least once a year, 

 and the reacting animals are gradually to be disposed of. 



If a calf plague (calf cholera, contagious pneumonia, 

 pyemia, etc.) occurs in the herd the committee may require 

 shipments of milk to be discontinued until further notice.

Farms that supply the regular whole milk, skimmed milk 

 and cream are to be inspected by the veterinarian twice a 

 month, unless in summer the cows are kept stabled, in which

 nursery milk are to be inspected the year through four times a 

 month. Travelling expenses are paid by the company. 



4. Nursery milk is to be shipped only in containers that
