Notice of intended slaughter
19.—(1) Where the Minister proposes to cause bovine animals to be slaughtered under the powers conferred by section 32 of the Animal Health Act 1981 in its application to brucellosis, a veterinary inspector may serve a notice of intended slaughter on the owner or person in charge of the animal informing him of the proposed slaughter and requiring him to detain the animal pending slaughter and isolate it as far as practicable from such other animals as may be specified.
(2) The person on whom such a notice has been served shall ensure that the animal is not moved, or cause or permit it to be moved except under the authority of a licence issued by an officer.
