5 Dead or diseased feral pigs
The occupier shall notify the Divisional Veterinary Manager of any dead or diseased feral pig on any holding or other place and shall retain the carcase of any dead feral pig on that holding or other place until that occupier receives notification from a veterinary inspector that it is no longer necessary to do so.

6 Feral pigs
No person shall bring on to a holding, slaughterhouse, or knacker’s yard in the infected area–
(a) the carcase of a feral pig; or
(b) any material or equipment which could have had contact with a feral pig in the infected area.
