Order of 3rd October 1883 concerning measures to be adopted in respect
to Glanders or Farcy in horses.
§ 1.
When a horse is found to be attacked by Glanders or Farcy, all horses
which have been stabled with, or been in contact with the diseased horse,
shall be placed under the observation of the Public Authorities, and such
ohservation shall not expire before the termination of one half year from the
last intercourse with the horse attacked by Glanders or Farcy, or suspected of
being so attacked.
So soon as any horse is presumed to be attacked by Glanders or Fancy,
or suspected of being thus attacked, it shall at once be isolated from healthy
animals.
§
Should it be certain that the horse is suffering from Glanders or Farey, it
shall be slaughtered. If a veterinary Surgeon can be obtained, he shall dissect
(open and examine) the slaughtered animal. Autopsy ought also to be performed
on every horse that dies, when, on account of Glanders or Forey, it has been
placed under the observation of the Authorities.
§
The skin of a slaughtered horse that has suffered from Glanders shall be
made unserviceable by incisions, and the animal thereafter entirely buried beneath
a covering layer (of earth) of, at least 1 1/2 mètres in depth.
§
A horse suspected of being affected by Glanders or Farcy, must, provided
its owner does not prefer to have it slaughtered, be kept in an isolated place,
