establishments and the taking of them out shall be governed by the regulations laid down by the
respective central authority.
Fattening establishments, must fulfil the following conditions
(a) They must be situated outside the territory of the communes and towns, so as to be
absolutely isolated.
Isolation must be such that the animals cannot come into direct or indirect contact with other
animals in the neighbourhood. Further, the institutions must be connected with the railway by
a branch line.
(b) The various enclosures shall be shut off by stone walls or partitions made of boards
without fissures and sufficiently high. They shall have a watertight floor and be provided with
loading and unloading platforms.
If the animals in the different enclosures cannot be loaded direct and must be driven on foot
to the loading platform of the establishment, the route along which they are driven must also be
paved. Finally, the establishment must have a canal in good working order and with a constant
flow of water.
