1. This Order supersedes the Swine-Fever (Infected Areas) Order of 1902 and the 

 Swine-Fever (Regulation of Movement) Order of 1903, and combines in one Order the 

 restrictions on movement to take effect in the existing 

 Memorandum as to "Scheduled Areas," and also the further restrictions 

 applicable to those parts of the Scheduled Areas which 

 Swine-Fever (RegUla- are declared to be Infected Areas. Except in these 

 tion Of Movement) Infected Areas, Part II. of the Order will not apply. 

 Order Of 1908 2 ' ^ e P r ^ nc ^? a ^ modifications in the existing 



procedure take the form of — 



{a) Increased facilities for marketing and slaughter 



of fat swine ; 



(5) Modification of the restrictions on movement connected with the movement of 

 swine for breeding ; 



(c) Simplification of procedure, particularly as regards movement, between 

 Scheduled Areas and Infected Areas. 



In view of these modifications, it has been thought desirable to limit the movement 

 of store swine into a Scheduled Area to swine which have been on the premises for a 

 continuous period of twenty-eight days immediately preceding the date of the proposed 

 movement, and which have not during such period been in contact with any pig that 

 has been moved on to those premises within such period. 



3. The forms of Declarations and Licences are made applicable to movements 

 under either Part I. or Part II. of the Order. 



4. Copies of Licences issued under Part II. are not required to be sent to the 

 Board, as at present under the Swine-Fever (Infected Areas) Order. 



5. The existing procedure as to specially authorised lairs, markets, and saleyards 

 for swine intended for slaughter is extended to Infected Areas. 



6. Article 15 makes special provision for movement of swine (not in Infected 

 Areas) to and from exhibitions licensed by the Local Authority. 



7. Facilities are given by Article 7 for movement of swine to railway stations 

 which are within an adjoining Scheduled or Infected Area for transit to some place 

 outside that Area. 



8. A Table of various movements regulated by Parts I. and II. of this Order is 

 attached* illustrating the procedure and the Forms of Declaration and Licence 

 required.
