Abstract

These Regulations prescribe measures to prevent the spreading of diseases affecting swine. Regulation 2 introduces the obligation to notify the occurrence of a disease by a veterinary surgeon, whereas regulation 3 concerns the notification of infected places. No swine nor the carcass of any swine nor any portion of such carcass shall be moved out of or into, or from place to place within any infected place or area except in accordance with the terms of a permit in writing by an inspector and all swine within an infected place or an infected area shall be kept confined in a sty, pen or other enclosure, unless an inspector in writing otherwise directs. Persons in charge of swine on separate premises within an infected place or infected area shall isolate them from swine on adjoining premises within or upon the boundaries of such infected place or infected area.
