§ 89. Control  of  vaccines,  serums and other preparations.   For the
purpose of detection, prevention, control or eradication  of  infectious
or  contagious  diseases of domestic animals and fowls, the commissioner
may  make  such  exemptions  and  promulgate  such  orders,  rules   and
regulations  as  he  may deem necessary for the proper control, use, and
distribution of any and all therapeutic preparations of  microbiological
origin used in the detection, prevention, control or eradication of such
diseases  within  the  state.  The following provisions shall govern the
disposition and use of such preparations.
  (1) Such preparations used, sold, or given away in this state shall be
labeled   in   conformity   with   the   provisions   of   the   federal
virus-serum-toxin  act of nineteen hundred thirteen, and any act or acts
amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto.
  (2) No person shall falsely label or mark any package or container  of
any  such  preparation,  or  alter  any  label or mark on any package or
container of such preparation so as to falsify such label or mark.
  (3) Such preparations,  except  those  prepared  by  a  federal  or  a
designated state agency, prepared within or brought into the state to be
retained, sold or given away within the state, for use in the detection,
prevention,  control or eradication of infectious or contagious diseases
of domestic animals or fowls, or  for  the  administration  thereto  for
whatever  purpose, shall be reported to the commissioner unless exempted
by him. Such reports shall be made by the individual, firm,  corporation
or  institution preparing or selling such preparations within the state,
or receiving such preparations within the state to be retained, sold  or
given  away.    The  reports shall show the character and purpose of the
preparation, the quantity, the name and address of the manufacturer  and
the  name and address of the person or firm to whom the product was sold
or given away.
  (4) Except by permission of the commissioner, the sale,  or  gift,  or
use  of  such  preparations  shall  be  confined  to  legally  qualified
veterinarians.
  (5) Legally qualified veterinarians using  such  preparations,  except
those  preparations  exempted  by  the  commissioner,  in the detection,
prevention, control, or eradication of infectious or contagious diseases
of domestic animals or fowls shall make a report  of  such  use  to  the
commissioner immediately after the application or administration of such
preparation.  The report shall include the name and address of the owner
or  custodian  of  the  animals,  the  character  and  purpose  of   the
preparation   employed,  the  amount  used,  and,  if  required  by  the
commissioner, the identification of each animal and/or  other  necessary
information.
  (6)  No person shall treat with or inject into any domestic animal any
preparation, material or substance for the purpose of or with the effect
of fraudulently interfering in any manner with a normal reaction  to  an
officially prescribed test.
  (7)  No  veterinarian  shall  certify  or  make a statement showing or
tending to show that any domestic animal has been tested or examined and
found free  from  an  infectious  or  contagious  disease,  unless  such
certification shall show the character of the test, and bear a statement
that  the  test was made by an officially accepted method, and that upon
such test or examination the animal failed  to  give  evidence  of  such
disease.
