Fred S. Hosinger, D.V.S. has
boen appointed vetoririarian for
Southeastern Alaska by the Alaska
Department of Agriculturo, head
quarters in Junoau.
With the expansion of livestock
and dairy industry in the Interior
it is not possible for one veter
inarian to handle tho work in the
entire Territory. Dr. Honsinger
will render assistance to live
stock, poultry and fur farmers
during epidomics and with produc
tion management problems.
A new duty of the veterinarian j
will be to advise and onforce most!
handling regulations which arc be
ing propared at the present time. |
Those regulations will assuro tho
general public of receiving moat
products from healthy animals,
slaughtered under sanitary condi
tions .
It is believed that requiring
all slaughtering to be supervised
by a veterinarian and stamping of
carcasses for identification, will
moot with public acceptance and
increase the domand for local but
cherod meats.
