Full text

(a) If the laboratory determines that any part of a flock is infected, it shall certify that information to the commission, and the commission shall verify the infection and immediately quarantine part or all of the flock. The commission may authorize the laboratory to quarantine an infected flock on behalf of the commission. The commission shall give notice of the quarantine in the same manner as provided by law for the quarantine of other livestock and fowl. The commission shall also order a cessation in the sale, movement, or exhibition of quarantined poultry or eggs and may seek an injunction to enforce an order concerning infected flocks. (b) A quarantined flock shall be disposed of in a manner prescribed by the commission. If disposal involves movement to a state or federally inspected poultry processing establishment, the commission shall issue a certificate to accompany the flock. When the flock is disposed of and other measures necessary to the control and eradication of pullorum disease and fowl typhoid are taken, the commission shall remove the quarantine. (c) The owner of a quarantined flock is entitled to a retesting of the flock before its disposal.
