(3) A veterinary inspector shall go to the slaughterhouse and examine the notified horse or carcase, and may examine any other horse or carcase there as the veterinary inspector considers appropriate.
(4) Where paragraph 1(b) applies a veterinary inspector may by notice served on the person in charge of the slaughterhouse impose the controls in paragraph (5).
(5) The controls are that the person in charge of the slaughterhouse shall ensure that—
(a)no horse or carcase is removed from the slaughterhouse;
(b)any notified horse and any other horse from the same premises as the notified horse is not slaughtered unless authorised by a veterinary inspector; and
(c)if any notified horse or any horse from the same premises as a notified horse has already been, or is subsequently, slaughtered or has died, its carcase is specifically identified and retained at the slaughterhouse until a veterinary inspector has examined it, and taken samples if considered necessary.
14.—(1) This regulation applies where a veterinary inspector has acted under regulation 13(3).

(a)any test carried out under this regulation; or
(b)any clinical signs in any horse at the slaughterhouse or any other premises where any horse at the slaughterhouse has recently been,
that African horse sickness virus is present in a horse or carcase at the slaughterhouse.
(6) Where this paragraph applies, the Department shall ensure that all carcases of infected horses are disposed of in such a way as to avoid the risk of spread of African horse sickness virus(2).
