Abstract
The State Archive of Rijeka keeps Modruš-Rijeka district administration reports which include information on public health and veterinary reports. This paper presents data on the health of domestic animals between 1894 and 1898. They includeall registered common diseases, epidemics, improvements, licenses, and awards to horse-breeders, supervision records of the livestock markets, personnel data, and municipal veterinary foundation reports for every year. Records on slaughtered animals in public slaughter-houses are also available for some years. These reports show thatall necessary veterinary and other measures were carried out consistently,in accordance with the existing laws and regulations. They also show improvements in animal husbandry and in the hygiene of products of animal origin.
