APPENDIX 
I 
STATE SANITARY REQUIREMENTS GOVERNING ADMISSION 
OF LIVE STOCK 
Veterinarians are often asked the health requirements of animals for shipment from 
one state to another. To afford such assistance as possible on that subject the follow- 
ing pages containing a summary of the regulations of each state are appended. These 
abstracts of the law were made and published by the Bureau of Animal Industry and 
issued December 11, 1915. : 
Where more detailed information is desired, correspondence with the official 
of the state in question is necessary. This should be done in practically every instance 
as the laws are being changed from year to year. It is believed, however, that this 
summary of the state laws will afford an efficient guide to those interested in the 
subject.
