32.3.430    QUARANTINE AND RETEST OF SUSPECT ANIMALS IN NEGATIVE HERD

(1) Animals which are determined to be suspects as the result of an official test in an otherwise negative herd shall be quarantined by the department to specified premises. They shall remain under quarantine until they are determined to be negative animals as the result of an official test performed not less than 30 days from and after the initial test establishing suspect status, or two official tests performed subsequent to the initial test establishing suspect status performed not less than 30 days apart, which do not display equivocal results warranting the further classification of the animals as suspects or redesignation of the animals as reactors. Failure of the owner of such a herd, or his agent, to present suspect animals for retest pursuant to order of the department may result in a quarantine and retest of the entire herd. Suspect animals quarantined under the provisions of this rule must be moved and disposed of while under quarantine pursuant to and in accordance with ARM 32.3.425.
