§ 91. Hog cholera and pseudorabies control; indemnity. 1. The
commissioner, to control, suppress or eradicate hog cholera and
pseudorabies, may cause to be made appropriate examinations or tests for
ascertaining the presence or absence of such diseases in swine. If,
from such examinations or tests, any swine be found to be infected with
or exposed to hog cholera or pseudorabies and such condition be such as
to cause the swine to be a menace to the health of other animals the
commissioner may order such swine to be immediately slaughtered or
otherwise disposed of as he may prescribe.

2. No swine infected with or exposed to hog cholera or pseudorabies
shall be sold or removed from the premises where examined, or from any
other premises, except upon written permission of the commissioner. No
swine so infected or exposed shall be slaughtered or killed except under
the supervision of the commissioner.

3. The commissioner, within the appropriation for such purpose, may
cause blood samples of swine to be taken and tested.

4. Swine killed on account of hog cholera or pseudorabies shall be
appraised and indemnity shall be paid to the owner as provided in this
article, except as otherwise specifically limited by this section. The
owner shall be entitled to receive the net proceeds, if any, of the sale
of the swine, and in addition thereto, within the appropriation for such
purpose, shall be paid indemnity in a sum not exceeding one hundred
dollars for a registered purebred, inbred or hybrid swine, and not
exceeding forty dollars for any other swine. A purebred swine is any
breeding swine upon which a certificate of pure breeding has been issued
by a purebred swine association; an inbred or hybrid swine is any
breeding swine upon which a certificate or registration has been issued
by a recognized inbred or hybrid registry association. Certificates of
pure breeding or registration for inbred or hybrid swine shall be
presented at the time of appraisal or such swine will be appraised as
grades, provided, however, that in the absence of such certificates or
registrations the commissioner may grant a reasonable time for the
presentation of such certificates or registrations to the appraiser.
The total amount receivable by the owner from the net proceeds of the
sale of the swine and indemnity from the federal government and
indemnity from the state shall, in every case, except as otherwise
specifically limited by this section, equal but not exceed the full
appraised value of the swine.

5. The commissioner may adopt and enforce rules and regulations, and
may cooperate with the authorities of the United States government and
with local officials, to implement the provisions of this section.
