Report of Representative to the United States Livestock Sanitary Association

Hoard's Dairyman, Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin

ABSTRACT

Since this is the first report ot a representative from the American Dairy Science Association to the U.S. Livestock Sanitary Association (USLSA), a brief review of its history is appropriate.

On September 27, 1897, the operators of the Fort Worth Stock Yards invited state veterinarians of the northern states to come to Texas to observe a new method reputed to free cattle from disease-bearing ticks. Out of this meeting evolved an association devoted to the control of many diseases of domestic livestock, some transmissible to man.

From 1897 to 1909, livestock industry leaders and animal health officials met as the Interstate Livestock Boards and State Veterinarians. In 1909, the name was changed to the U.S. Livestock Sanitary Association. Since then then membership of the association has gradually changed from its original composition, chiefly of stock-raisers, to its current membership, which largely consists of regulatory officials, veterinarians, scientists, and research workers engaged in animal health activities.
