4-4-83. (a) In the control, suppression, prevention, and
eradication of poultry diseases, the Commissioner or any duly
authorized inspector or employee of the department acting under the
authority of this part or any other poultry law of this state is
authorized to quarantine any premises or any area when he shall
determine that any poultry in such place or places is infected with
a contagious or infectious disease, that the unsanitary condition
of such place or places might cause the spread of such disease, or
that the owner or occupant of such place or places has not observed
sanitary practices. (b) The
Commissioner is authorized to promulgate and adopt rules and
regulations prescribing sanitary standards and requirements for the
prevention, control, suppression, and eradication of poultry
diseases in this state. Such regulations shall be no less adequate
for the protection of the poultry industry and the public health
than those regulations of the Secretary of Agriculture of the
United States. (c) The
Commissioner is authorized, in his discretion, to confiscate,
destroy, or otherwise dispose of any poultry, hatching eggs,
chicks, or breeding stock which is infected with any contagious or
infectious diseases.
