This Act, consisting of 99 sections divided into eight Parts and completed by ten Schedules, aims at preventing the introduction and spread in Brunei Darussalam, and the transmission from Brunei Darussalam, of animal infectious diseases.

The regulations made under this Act may provide for: placing vessels arriving at any port of Brunei Darussalam in quarantine; prohibiting or regulating the landing of persons from vessels either absolutely or conditionally; prohibiting or regulating the entry or landing of animals brought by land, sea or air from any place without or within Brunei Darussalam, and for prohibiting such entry or landing except at specified places; prohibiting or regulating the movement of diseased animals or animals suspected of being diseased and the removal of carcass; slaughtering with or without compensation, as is deemed expedient, diseased animals or with compensation animals suspected of being diseased or of having been in circumstances in which they were likely to have become infected with disease, etc.
