10 Commission Report: Tuberculosis. 
2. ‘That when by any means the officials properly charged with 
the control of tuberculosis become aware of its existence in a 
herd to which a policy of slaughter and compensation cannot 
reasonably be applied, such herd must be dealt with by the owner, 
under government supervision, on the principle of the separation 
of all sound animals ftom those affected. Such separation must 
be effected by treating the whole herd as diseased, and rearing 
the calves separately, either on pasteurized milk or the milk of 
healthy cows, or when the number of those affected is so small 
as to warrant such a course, by the application to the whole herd, 
from time to time, under official supervision, of the tuberculin test, 
and the entire segregation of all animals found to react. 
‘In the event of any owner refusing or neglecting to adopt 
either of the above methods, his entire herd to be closely quaran- 
tined, and sales therefrom to be entirely prohibited. 
3. That a policy of compensation be recommended as useful 
and usually necessary as a temporary measure. 
4. ‘That, when slaughter is necessary, in order to avoid economic 
loss, every effort should be made to utilize as far as possible the 
meat of such animals as may be found fit for food on being 
slaughtered under competent inspection. 
5. The details of the Commission Plan will be found fully set 
forth in the Appendix to this report. 
RESOLUTION 7. PREVENTION. 
1. That, with the object of preventing the spread of infection, 
persons buying cattle for breeding purposes or milk production 
should, except when stich purchases are made from disease free 
herds which have been tested by a properly qualified person, 
purchase only subject to the tuberculin test. In order to assist 
in the proper carrying out of this suggestion, the Commission 
recommends that official authorities should adopt such Regulations 
as will prevent the entry to their respective territories of cattle 
for breeding purposes or milk production unless accompanied 
by satisfactory tuberculin test charts. 
2. That all milk and milk by-products used as food should be 
properly pasteurized unless from cows known to be free from 
tuberculosis.
