Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Sixth Annual Report of the Bureau of Animal Industry for the Year 1909 Investigations made by the Bureau show that in order to protect the health of consumers there is great need for the supervision and inspection of dairy products and of the animals from which they are obtained. The danger Of contracting disease from such products is much greater than from meat, Since milk, cream, and butter are almost universally used and are usually consumed in the raw state. Scientific experiments by the Bureau and by other investigators have demonstrated that the germs of tuberculosis and typhoid fever are frequently conveyed through dairy products, and that these germs may remain alive and virulent in milk beyond the time within which it is usually consumed, and in butter for several months.
