■2$6 Diseases of Animals Orders. [July, 



A brief indication of the principal Orders of the Board which 

 affect the more general movement of animals, in connection 

 with swine fever and sheep scab, is given 



Orders of the Board below. Copies of the Orders may be 



under the Diseases obtained by persons interested from the 

 of Animals Acts, local authorities of the respective districts, 

 but it should always be borne in mind 

 that owing to the fluctuation of disease in any particular 

 district, the provisions of the Orders may have been varied, 

 or other Orders may have been made, since the date of issue 

 of the Orders herein mentioned. 



Swine Fever. — The Swine Fever (Regulation of Movement) 

 Order of 1903 regulates the movement of swine into each area to 

 which it applies and restricts such movement to (a) swine moved 

 to bacon factories, slaughter houses or specially authorised 

 lairs, markets and sale yards, and (b) cases in which the swine 

 have been on the same premises for at least twenty-eight days 

 before movement. In the latter case the swine must be 

 detained for a further period of twenty-eight days on the 

 premises to which they are moved. In every case of movement 

 into the area a licence is required, granted by the local 

 authority of the district in which the place of destination is 

 situate.
