(a)give notice of that fact to an appropriate officer, and

(b)arrange for the isolation, as far as practicable of the animal concerned and its foetus or calf and placenta, from all other bovine animals in his ownership or charge.

(2) An animal to which the provisions of paragraph (1) above apply, shall remain in isolation and its foetus or calf and placenta shall be retained by the owner or person in charge of the animal, until such time as an appropriate officer serves a notice requiring the disposal or destruction of the foetus or calf and placenta.

(3) If any person on whom a notice under paragraph (2) above is served fails to comply with it, the appropriate Minister may, without prejudice to any proceedings for an offence arising out of such default, carry out or cause to be carried out the requirements of the notice and the expenses reasonably incurred by the appropriate Minister shall be recoverable by him from the person in default.
