(c)
not to remove manure, slurry or other animal waste from the premises except under the authority of a licence issued by an inspector;

to take such steps as may be reasonably practicable to prevent any non-bovine animal kept on the premises from infecting any animal kept on any adjoining premises;
(e)
to arrange for the isolation of any non-bovine animals which may be specified in the notice to the extent specified in the notice;

to ensure that any part or parts of the premises specified in the notice are not used by any non-bovine animal on the premises, or by such other animal or animals as may be specified in the notice;
