3.2. If a veterinary surgeon appointed under section 55.9.17 observes or suspects the presence of a contagious or parasitic disease, an infectious agent or a syndrome, he may, by order, require that any measure aimed at surveilling or controlling the disease, agent or syndrome be put in place, in particular the quarantine, segregation or treatment of an animal, the control of movement into and out of the place of custody, the cleaning and disinfecting of that place or of a vehicle that was used to transport an animal, or the prohibition to sell any animal product or by-product.
The order must be notified to the owner or custodian of the animal or, where applicable, to the owner or person in charge of the premises or vehicle where there is or was an animal. The order must contain a statement of the reasons on which it is based and specify, in particular, the obligations of the owner or custodian of the animal or those of the owner or person in charge of the premises or vehicle and the manner in which those obligations must be fulfilled. The order takes effect on the date of its notification.
3.2. Where a designated veterinary surgeon observes or suspects the existence of a contagious or parasitic disease, an infectious agent or a syndrome, he may prescribe, by order, any treatment or sanitary measure he considers appropriate, including the segregation, marking and immunization of the animal.
The order shall be delivered personally to the owner or custodian of the animal and shall specify, in particular, the obligations of the owner or custodian and the manner in which these obligations must be fulfilled.
