If a veterinary inspector has reasonable grounds for supposing that the disease exists or has within 56 days existed on any premises he may serve a notice in form A on the occupier of the premises declaring them to be an infected place.

An infected place shall be subject to the requirements set out in Schedule 1 until a notice in form B is served on the occupier by the Divisional Veterinary Officer.

A veterinary inspector may at any time alter the limits of an infected place by the service of a notice in form C on the occupier.

A veterinary inspector may at any time require the movement of animals from the infected place to such other place as he may determine and when making such a requirement shall authorise the movement by licence.

A veterinary inspector may, by notice served on the occupier, prohibit the use of a specified feedingstuff on the infected place, where he considers it necessary to prevent the spread of disease.
