Cantonal Animal Disease Ordinance (KTSV)(916.22).

This cantonal ordinance regulates the prevention, surveillance, control and compensation of animal diseases, defining the roles of the Veterinary Office, the cantonal chief veterinary officer and the damages commission. It sets reporting duties for markets and exhibitions, health and vaccination requirements for summer alpine pasturing, rules on isolation, transport and documentation for animal movements, and operational measures for managing and disposing of animal by‑products, with municipalities responsible for collection points and transport. The text establishes compensation and cost‑sharing arrangements, including canton‑funded laboratory, pathology and treatment costs and coverage of carcass disposal in declared disease events, alongside annual holder contributions and administrative fees. It further provides implementation rules on procurement of materials, designated laboratories, access to the relevant federal system, transitional provisions for fund use, and detailed institutional and procedural arrangements for the damages commission.
