4-4-64. (a) As used in this Code section, the term
'animal' means the domestic animals and livestock of this state,
including poultry. (b) In
addition to any other quarantine and inspection duties imposed by
law, the Commissioner shall establish quarantine lines against the
introduction of any animals, any animal carcasses or parts thereof,
any biological products or preparations, or any live viruses or
other disease vectors when in his judgment such a quarantine is
necessary for the protection of the livestock of this state from
any contagious or infectious disease. The Commissioner is
authorized to make such rules and regulations as he may deem
necessary to prevent, suppress, control, and eradicate such
contagious or infectious diseases. The Commissioner may allow the
movement into the quarantined area of the types of animals or
products against which quarantine is imposed when, after
inspection, he is satisfied that the animals or products being
moved into the quarantined area are free of disease or that they
will be handled so as not to introduce or spread disease.
