GLANDERS OR FARCY ORDER OF 1907. 



Definitions. " Disease " means Glanders or Farcy. A " diseased " horse, 

 ass or mule means one in which the clinical symptoms are definite evidence of 

 disease, or in which the application of the Mallein Test has resulted in definite 

 evidence of disease. 



A " suspected " animal is one which shows clinical symptoms of disease, 

 but where such symptoms are insufficient to make the animal a " diseased " 

 animal. 



Notification of the suspected existence of glanders must be made to a P.C. 

 by the owner (and by a V.S.) and by a horse-slaughterer should he find a 

 suspected carcase in his possession. Notification is made by the P.C. to his 

 L.A. and to the M.O.H. of the district.
