(2) Place any livestock in quarantine until the necessary inspections or tests or epidemiological investigations have been completed.
(3) Appoint inspectors to enter premises, to inspect and disinfect livestock premises, and enforce quarantines.
(4) Make a determination based on epidemiological evaluation of current disease risks that additional requirements are needed to prevent the introduction or spread of disease.
(5) Direct a person to comply with the entry or additional requirements in writing or orally and confirmed in writing.
B. In consultation with federal officials and agencies and based upon an epidemiological evaluation of the current risk of introduction or spread of disease, the state veterinarian may place any animal used for research in quarantine until the disease risk has abated. The determination to lift a quarantine issued pursuant to this Subsection shall be based on validated data derived from evidence-based practices.
