The Contagious Diseases (Animals) Act 1878 (41 & 42 Vict. c. 74) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed by Benjamin Disraeli's Conservative government.

Contents

A select committee was appointed in 1877 to investigate animal diseases. The resulting act established central rather than local control over all outbreaks of animal disease. [1]

The agriculturist Jacob Wilson considered the act "an undoubted benefit conferred upon the agricultural interest by the Conservative Government". [2] : 12  It was opposed by the Radicals. [2] : 13
