Abstract

These Regulations lay down control measures in the case of an outbreak of one of the diseases listed in regulation 2 thereof. Regulation 3 introduces restrictions on premises on which disease is suspected. A place may be declared infected under regulation 4. Regulation 5 provides for slaughter of animals and destruction of semen and embryos on premises where disease exists. Regulation 8 gives powers to any authorised officer to mark any animal, carcass, semen, embryo or article or direct persons to mark if the officer considers it necessary to so do. Regulation 9 provides for cleansing and disinfecting of premises, whereas regulation 10 provides for declaration of infected area. Regulation 14 outlines measures for eradication of insecs. The Minister may where he believes that it is necessary for the prevention or eradication of disease require, by a notice in writing served on the owner or person in charge of an animal within such period and under such conditions as may be specified in the notice, that person to vaccinate or have vaccinated the animal against disease with a vaccine approved for the purpose by the Minister (reg. 15).
