APPENDIX II 551 
Paragraph 2. All hogs plainly showing on ante-mortem inspection that they are 
affected with either hog cholera or swine plague shall be marked “U. S. condemned” 
and disposed of in accordance with section 8 of this regulation. 
Paragraph 3. If a hog has a temperature of 106° F. or higher, and is of a lot in 
which there are symptoms of either hog cholera or swine plague, in case of doubt as 
to the cause of the high temperature, after being marked for identification, it may be 
held for a reasonable time, under the supervision of an inspector, for further observa- 
tion and taking of temperature. Any hog so held shall be reinspected on the day it 
is slaughtered. If upon such reinspection, or when not held for further observation 
and taking of temperature, then on the original inspection, the hog has a temperature 
of 106° F. or higher, it shall be condemned and disposed of in accordance with section 8 
of this regulation. 
Paragraph 4. All animals showing on ante-mortem inspection symptoms of rabies, 
tetanus, milk fever, or railroad sickness shall be marked “U.S. condemned” and dis- 
posed of in accordance with section 8 of this regulation. 
Paragraph 5. Immature animals offered for ante-mortem inspection at any of the 
places specified in this regulation, and animals found dead or in a dying condition 
on premises of an official establishment, shall be marked “U.S. condemned” and dis- 
posed of in accordance with section 8 of this regulation. 
Paragraph 6. All animals which, on ante-mortem inspection, do not plainly show, 
but are suspected of being affected with, any disease or condition that, under these 
regulations, may cause condemnation, in whole or in part, on post-mortem inspection, 
shall be so marked as to retain their identity as suspects until final post-mortem inspec- 
tion, when the carcasses shall be marked and disposed of as provided elsewhere in 
these regulations, or until disposed of in accordance with section 7 of this regulation. 
Paragraph 7. All seriously crippled animals and animals commonly termed 
“‘downers’’, if not marked “U.S. condemned” under paragraph 1, 2, 3, or 4, shall be 
marked and treated as suspects in accordance with paragraph 6, of this section. 
Paragraph 8. Animals which are known to have reacted to the tuberculin test 
and which are to be slaughtered at an official establishment shall be marked and 
treated as suspects in accordance with paragraph 6 of this section. 
Section 3. All animals required by these regulations to be treated as suspects, 
or to be marked as suspects, or to be marked so as to retain their identity as suspects, 
shall be marked by or under the supervision of a bureau employee ‘‘U. S. suspect,” 
or with such other distinctive mark or marks to indicate that they are suspects as the 
chief of bureau may adopt. No such mark shall be removed except by a bureau 
employee. 
Section 4. Paragraph 1. All hogs, even though not themselves marked as sus- 
pects, which are of lots one or more of which have been condemned or marked as sus- 
pects under section 2 of this regulation for either hog cholera or swine plague, shall, 
so far as possible, be slaughtered separately and apart from all other animals passed 
on ante-mortem inspection. 
Paragraph 2. All animals required to be marked as suspects shall be set apart 
and, except as hereinafter provided, shall be slaughtered separately from other ani- 
mals at an official establishment. In order to avoid unnecessary suffering, crippled 
animals and animals commonly termed ‘“‘downers’” should be slaughtered without 
delay. 
Saale 5. In all cases of emergency slaughter, except as provided in section 23 
of regulation 11, the animals shall be inspected immediately before slaughter, whether 
theretofore inspected or not. When the necessity for emergency slaughter exists 
the establishment shall notify the inspector in charge of his assistant so that such 
inspection may be made. : : z 
Section 6. Paragraph 1. When any condition is suspected in which the question 
of temperature is important, such as hog cholera, swine plague, Texas fever, anthrax, 
blackleg, pneumonia, or septicemia, and in the case of animals commonly termed 
“downers,” the exact temperature shall be taken and recorded. Ay 
Paragraph 2. If any animal bas a temperature indicating a diseased condition, 
in case of doubt as to the cause of the high temperature, after being marked for identi- 
fication, it may be held for a reasonable time, under the supervision of an inspector, 
for further observation and taking of temperature, before its final disposal is deter- 
mined.
