Slaughter of Cows Infected With Tuberculosis, 1922
| Description: |
A crowd watches over the slaughter of a tuberculosis-infected cow in Trimble, Illinois. In the 1920s, the safety of cows milk increasingly became a public concern, leading to more widespread testing of cows. In 1924, pasteurization became recommended federal policy. The original nitrate negative was copied with funds provided by a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission in 1990. This digital image was created from that copy. The copy prints and negatives are stored in Microfiche Number order. Interpositives are stored in PAN number order. |
