Regulation 4 Notification of disease in carcases

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

Any person who is in possession or in charge of the carcase of a bovine animal, showing signs of tumorous changes (other than haemangiomas, papillomas or warts) in the lymph nodes or any part thereof, shall with all practicable speed, give notice of that fact to the Divisional Veterinary Manager responsible for that area.

(2)

A person who is in possession or in charge of a carcase to which paragraph (1) of this regulation applies, shall detain it on the premises where it is kept until it has been examined by a veterinary inspector or until a veterinary inspector has determined that an inspection is not required.
