BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY HISTORY
The live stock sanitary board was created by an act approved March 5, 1885. This act provided for a live stock sanitary commission of three members, and a state veterinary surgeon, all appointed by the governor. The legislature. of 1891 made slight amendments to this original act. The legislature of 1901 repealed existing legislation and made the governor the state veterinarian, with power to appoint a deputy for the actual work of the office. The legislature of 1913 repealed this law and created a live stock sanitary board of five members appointed by the governor, who continued to be state veterinarian, and appointed a deputy upon nomination of the live stock sanitary board.
The earliest stallion registration law was that approved March 12, 1909. It required the professor of animal husbandry of the University of Nebraska to approve and file registration certificates. The legislature of 1911 repealed this law and created a stallion registration board composed of the secretary of the state board of agriculture, the professor of animal husbandry in the University of Nebraska and the deputy state veterinarian. The legislature of 1913 amended this law so that the governor, treasurer and commissioner of public lands and buildings constituted the board, and the deputy state veterinarian acted as its secretary. The legislature of 1915 transferred all the functions of this board to the live stock sanitary board.
