of scabies iu sheep iuto another State, Territory, or 

 the District of Columbia, except as hereinafter pro- 

 vided, initil the sheep shall have been inspected by an 

 inspector of the Bureau of Animal Industry, found to 

 be free from the disease and from exposure thereto, 

 and are accompanied by a certificate from the said in- 

 spector. All of the sheep in a certain flock or ship- 

 ment in which the disease is present shall be classed 

 as diseased sheep, and none of them shall be removed 

 or offered for interstate shipment until dipped as 

 hereinafter provided. The practice of " picking " a 

 flock — i. e., removing sheep which are visibly diseased 

 and then offering any portion of the remaining sheep 

 for either inspection or interstate shipment, or both — 

 is directly and positively prohibited. 



Regulation 30. Healthy sheep iu an area not quar- 

 antined for the disease of scabies in sheep which have 

 not been exposed to the disease may be shipped or 

 trailed interstate without restriction by the regula- 

 tions of the Secretary of Agriculture to prevent the 

 spread of scabies in sheep; but if said sheep be un- 

 loaded en route or at destination and are placed in 

 infectious premises they shall thereafter be treated 

 as exposed sheep and shall not be forwarded to des- 

 tination for purposes other than immediate slaughter 

 until they shall have been dipped under the super- 

 vision of an inspector of the Bureau of Animal In- 

 dustry. 



Regulation 31. Sheep that are diseased with scabies 

 and that have been dipped once in one of the approved 

 dips, under the supervision of an inspector of the 

 Bureau of Animal Industry within ten days of date 

 of shipment, may be shipped interstate for immediate 

 slaughter to a recognized slaughtering center, and 

 when so shipped the said sheep shall not be diverted 

 en route and shall be slaughtered within two weeks 

 after arrival at destination. If diseased sheep are to 

 be shipped interstate for stocking or feeding purposes 

 they shall be dipped twice as above indicated, ten 

 days apart, and shall be submitted to inspection 

 before shipment. 



Sheep that are not diseased with scabies, but which 

 have been exposed to the contagion of the disease, may 

 be moved interstate for feeding or stocking purposes
