Created in 1923, the Board regulated the import and export of meat and livestock, inspected meat sellers, and controlled animal diseases such as cattle tick fever, hog cholera, and tuberculosis.

In 1961, the Board was abolished and its duties were transferred to the Dept. of Agriculture's Division of Animal Industry.
