upon inspection.

no other evidence of tuberculosis, either to be slaughtered and disposed of as 
herein provided for animals which show also other evidence of tuberculosis, or 
I will cause such animals to be removed from the herd and portion of the farm 
upon which the healthy animals of the herd are maintained, and I will cause 
the diseased animals to be segregated from the healthy animals, and thereafter 
they shall remain so segregated.

held on leash and are not permitted to leave the premises reserved for their use, 
and provided the healthy cows bred to such bulls are not unduly exposed to 
infected premises or to other diseased cattle.

from their mothers at birth, and will not permit the said young to suck their 
mothers. 
6. Any of my premises contaminated by reacting animals will be submitted 
by me to a thorough disinfection under the direction or supervision of the 
Bureau of Animal Industry.

allow to be marked, in such manner as to enable their identity to be retained, 
and I will not change the location of or slaughter any tuberculosis cattle except 
after due and timely notification to the Bureau of Animal Industry, stating the 
exact nature of the change of location, or the exact date, name, and address 
of the official establishment at which the animal or animals are to be slaugh- 
tered.
