From
the Chief Surgeon of the Civil Veterinary Department.
In accordance with § 4 of the Law of the 20th May 1882, concerning
measures to be adopted in respect to malignant contagious diseases amongst domestic
animals, and the Authority given to the Chief Surgeon of the Civil Veterinary
Department by virtue of a Royal Decree of 11th July of the current year, in
accordance with the said Law, the following instructions approved of by the
Home Department have been decided upon.
Regulations
to be followed in respect to Anthrax in Domestic Animals.
§ 1.
When a domestic animal is presumed to be attacked by anthrax, it must
at once be isolated from healthy animals. Isolation is best effected by letting
the sick animal remain in that place, in which it has become ill, and removing
the healthy animals to another building, or in some satisfactory manner separate
these from the affected animal in the same building, or by removing the
sick animal to some place shut off from intruders and all other animals.
Special attention must be directed to preventing other animals, such as
pigs, dogs, eats, poultry and birds from coming in contact with the sick animal
or its secretions, or with objects that have been in contact with the animal.
Those people who tend the affected animal ought not to come in contact with
other domestic animals.
§ 2.
Those animals which have been together with the affected animal must be
carefully examined in reference to the condition of their health, and should
they show any signs of illness which may arouse any suspicion of the presence
of anthrax, they shall be treated as if they were attacked by the disease.
