Abstract

For the purposes of these Regulations, Zambia shall be divided into the veterinary districts described in the First Schedule. No stock shall be moved into or out of a veterinary district without a permit issued by a Veterinary Officer or other person authorized by the Director. The areas described in the Second Schedule shall be quarantine stations into or out of which no stock shall be moved without a permit issued by an authorized officer. No person shall introduce or cause to be introduced into Zambia any stock, carcass, article or other matter specified in the Third Schedule without a permit issued by the Director. Restrictions are also placed upon other articles from places where stock diseases have occurred (Fourth and Fifth Schedule). When it is stipulated in any permit that any stock shall be held in quarantine in any Government quarantine station the provisions specified in regulation 6 shall apply. Other regulations deal with disposal of carcasses, inoculation and branding, movement permits, and permits for the manufacture and import of virus and vaccine.
