Precautions against spread of infectionE+W

18.—(1) Where a veterinary inspector is satisfied that any bovine animal kept on any premises is an affected animal or a suspected animal, the veterinary inspector may, by notice served on the keeper of any such animal, require the keeper–

(a)to treat and store manure or slurry from any place which has been used by any such animal in accordance with the requirements of the notice;

(b)not to spread any manure or to spray or spread any slurry from any place which has been used by any such animal otherwise than in accordance with the requirements of the notice;

(c)not to remove manure, slurry or other animal waste from the premises except under the authority of a licence issued by an inspector;

(d)to take such steps as may be reasonably practicable to prevent any bovine animal kept on the premises from infecting any bovine animal kept on any adjoining premises;

(e)to arrange for the isolation of any bovine animals which may be specified in the notice on any specified part or parts of the premises;

(f)to ensure that any part or parts of the premises specified in the notice are not used by any bovine animal on the premises, or by such other animal or animals as may be specified;

(g)to cleanse and disinfect with an approved disinfectant such part or parts of the premises, within such time and in such manner, as may be specified in the notice;

(h)to cleanse and disinfect with an approved disinfectant all utensils and other articles used for or about an animal to which the notice relates within such time and in such manner as may be specified in the notice; and

(i)to take such other action as the veterinary inspector considers appropriate.
