Paragraph 2

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

Where an inspector or OVS has reason to suspect that a suppurative condition exists in the carcase of any sheep or lamb he shall—

(a)

examine by palpation as well as by observation such of the lymph nodes as are readily accessible; and

(b)

in the case of a sheep, examine in detail such of the following lymph nodes as he has not already so examined; prescapular, superficial inguinal, precrural; and, in the case of a lamb, examine in detail such lymph nodes if he has found evidence of disease in the course of visual examination or palpation.
