Abstract

These Regulations make provisions for measures to prevent and control diseases of poultry. "Poultry" here means domestic fowls, turkeys, ducks, geese, guinea fowls, pigeons, pheasants and partridges. Regulation 3 introduces a requirement to notify diseases or suspicion of diseases affecting fowl to local authorities. Regulation 4 concerns notification of disease by veterinary surgeon. Regulation 5 prescribes precautions to be adopted on premises on which disease exists or is suspected. Where an inspector has grounds for suspecting the existence of fowl pest on any premises, a notice (in the Form A set forth in the Second Schedule) shall be served by the inspector on the occupier of the premises declaring the said premises, within the limits specified in the notice, to be an infected place for the purposes of this Order. The Minister may order slaughter and disposal of carcasses pursuant to regulation 7. Regulation 9 provides for cleansing and disinfecting of premises. Regulation 10 introduces restrictions on the movement of poultry exposed to infection. The Minister may by order declare a specified area to be a fowl pest infected area for the purposes of this Order under regulation. The hunting and shooting of wild birds is prohibited in an infected area. (16 regulations and 2 Schedules)
