2.0.4. If a veterinary surgeon or inspector appointed under section 55.9.17 has reasonable cause to believe that an agent is present, he may order any owner or custodian of an animal or, where applicable, any owner or person in charge of premises where there is an animal to put in place any measure that makes it possible to contain or prevent the propagation of the agent, in particular measures for quarantine, segregation or the control of movement into and out of the place of custody, until the state of health of the animal or health status of the herd is known.

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. It must contain a statement of the reasons on which it is based and specify the obligations of the owner or custodian of the animal or, as the case may be, those of the owner or person in charge of the premises, as well as the manner in which those obligations must be fulfilled. The order takes effect on the date of its notification.
