Animal Diseases (Foot-and-Mouth Disease) Rules (Cap. 364).

These Rules introduce measures that may be taken against the spreading of foot and mouth disease.

The movement of stock may be severely restricted in infected areas and all public stock sales shall be cancelled. The veterinary officer or veterinary inspector may issue a permit for the movement of a limited number of animals for slaughter.
