place in which they are isolated so long as the disease lasts.

5. Should malignant foot-rot occur amongst a stock, only those sheep may be
taken to common grazing grounds which have not had any connection
whatsoever, either direct or indirect, with sick sheep, for the space of
1 month, and this can only first be permitted after it has been confirmed,
from a strict examination, that the sheep are entirely sound, and after their
being subjected to disinfection, as above prescribed, immediately previous
to their departure for the pastures.
6. Whensoever fresh cases occur amongst the stock, the owner is obliged to
call in a Veterinary Surgeon at once, or report the outbreak to the Police.
7. The sale of live animals from an affected stock must not take place for at
least one month after a Veterinary Surgeon declares the disease to have
ceased, and that each and all have been carefully disinfected. In eases
where a Veterinary Surgeon is not to be met with then there must
elapse one quarter of a year from the time that any traces of the disease
were observed. Sheep which are slaughtered from an infected stock, shall
after slaughtering have all four legs cut off and buried.
8. Inspection of the infected stock shall take place as often as the Veterinary
Surgeon concerned may deem it necessary, though not oftener than once
a week.
9. Previous to introducing restored animals to a healthy flock, they must be
kept for observation in a separate place for a period of 3 weeks, after
that all their feet have been carefully examined, and after that they have
been carefully disinfected.
These Regulations shall come into force at once.
