""The Bureau of Animal Industry: Its History, Activities and Organization"" provides a comprehensive examination of one of the United States Department of Agriculture's most significant administrative units. Written by Fred Wilbur Powell, this study documents the development of the Bureau from its creation through the early 20th century, exploring its vital role in protecting the nation's livestock and ensuring the safety of food supplies through systematic inspection and regulation.
The work details the Bureau's organizational evolution, its legal mandates, and its scientific contributions to the field of veterinary medicine. It covers the agency's efforts to eradicate infectious diseases such as Texas fever and pleuropneumonia, as well as its ongoing research into animal pathology. By analyzing the Bureau's internal structure and external impact, the text illustrates how federal oversight became essential to the growth of the American agricultural economy.
As a foundational text in the history of government administration, this book is an invaluable resource for scholars of agricultural history, public policy, and the institutionalization of veterinary science. It offers a detailed look at the intersection of scientific research and federal governance in safeguarding public health and animal welfare.
