224 SHEEP DISEASES. 



SHEEP DISEASED OR EXPOSED IN TRANSIT. 



SECTION 7. Sheep shipped interstate under a certificate from 

 an inspector of the Bureau of Animal Industry are not guaran- 

 teed uninterrupted transit, for in the event of the discovery 

 of scabies or of exposure thereto en route the sheep shall there- 

 after be handled as diseased or exposed sheep, as hereinbefore 

 provided, and the cars or other vehicles and the chutes, alleys, 

 and pens which have been occupied by them shall be cleaned 

 and disinfected, as hereinafter provided in section 9 of this 

 regulation. 



SHIPMENTS FROM PUBLIC STOCKYARDS. 



SECTION 8. Paragraph 1. Public stockyards shall be con- 

 sidered infectious and the sheep yarded therein as having 

 been exposed to the disease, and no sheep shall be shipped 

 interstate therefrom, except for immediate slaughter, without 

 dipping. Where, however, a part of all of the stockyards is 

 reserved and set apart for the reception of uninfected ship- 

 ments of sheep and is kept free of disease, sheep may be 

 shipped interstate from the uninfectious yards or portions 

 thereof without dipping. 



Paragraph 2. If diseased sheep are introduced into the 

 uninfectious yards or portions thereof, they shall be imme- 

 diately removed therefrom and the chutes, alleys, and pens 

 occupied by the said sheep shall be thoroughly cleaned and 

 disinfected. No sheep shall be shipped interstate from any 

 stockyards where an inspector of the Bureau of Animal In- 

 dustry is stationed without a certificate of inspection or of 

 dipping issued by the said inspector. 



DISINFECTION OF CARS, PREMISES, ETC. 



SECTION 9. Cars and other vehicles, yards, pens, sheds, 

 chutes, etc., that have contained diseased sheep shall be cleaned 

 and disinfected in the following manner: Remove all litter 

 and manure and then saturate the interior .surfaces of the 

 cars and woodwork, flooring, and ground of the chutes, alleys, 

 and pens with a solution made with 6 ounces of 95 per cent 

 pure carbolic acid to each gallon of water, or a solution con- 

 taining 4 ounces of cresol compound U. S. P. to each gallon 

 of water. When either disinfectant is used sufficient lime 

 (not to exceed l 1 /^ pounds per gallon) should be added to show 

 where it has been applied. Cars and premises are not re- 

 quired to be cleaned and disinfected on account of their hav- 

 ing contained "dipped scabby sheep" that have been dipped 

 within 10 days or sheep that have been exposed to scabies.
