Paragraph 8 Slaughter and destruction

England, Wales and Scotland

The occupier of the premises shall give all reasonable assistance to a veterinary inspector so as to ensure that poultry and such other birds on those premises as the veterinary inspector may require are killed there without delay and that carcases and eggs are destroyed in such a way as will minimise the risk of spreading disease, in accordance with directions given by a veterinary inspector.
