§ 10100 Bovine Tuberculosis Quarantine

• •The State Veterinarian has the power to order a quarantine.
• •Quarantine can be used only when a bovine animal is known to have been exposed to tuberculosis.
• •The order follows the rules set out in Section 9562.

A farmer’s herd grazes near another farm where a cow is later diagnosed with tuberculosis.

Because the farmer’s cows were exposed, the State Veterinarian can tell the farmer to keep the herd locked up and not let them move until they’re cleared, to stop the disease from spreading.
