Division of Animal Industry. 
REPORT OF THE TERRITORIAL VETERINARIAN. 
Hon. Marston Campbell, President and Executive Officer, 
Board of Agriculture and Forestry, Honolulu. 
Sir : — I beg to report on the work of the Division of Animal 
Industry since the last meeting of this Board on September 
14th. 
Tuberculosis Sitnatiou. 
On September 14 and 15 the remaining cattle belonging to 
the Isenberg Dairy, a total of 74 head, were submitted to the 
tuberculin test with the result that seven showed typical reac- 
tion and were branded, while 26 head, all young heifers which 
had been brought down from the mountains a few days 
previously, gave doubtful reaction — that is, the preliminary 
temperatures were too high to warrant their being injected. 
These 26 animals were ear-marked and ear-tagged in such 
a way as to be easily identified, and will be retested as soon 
as convenient and when they have become familiar with 
their new surroundings. 
On September 26th to October 1st, 230 head of cattle were 
tested at the Mokuleia Ranch of the Pond Dairy. Of these 
animals only eight head reacted to the test, none were found 
suspicious, and 222 head were branded with official ear-tags 
as being sound. Of the eight reactors, one animal. No. 64, 
was killed, and was found on post mortem examination to be 
extensively tuberculous. This animal had been tested by me 
four years ago, when it gave a doubtful reaction, and has 
since that time been tested repeatedly by Mr. Pond, each 
time giving a doubtful reaction. As stated, the animal was found 
affected with tuberculosis of the lungs and of most of the 
lymphatic glands of the head, neck and chest, the lesions being 
old and calcified. This animal has always been in fairly good 
condition and showed no physical symptoms warranting her 
destruction on a doubtful reaction, and she has undoubtedly 
been a continued source of infection during the years she 
has been retained in the herd. 
At the present date the tuberculosis work sums up as 
follows : f 
Total number tested 1715 
“ suspicious 46 
“ reacted 510 
Percentage of reactors and suspicious ones 32.42.
