Sec.22-324-C8. Segregation of diseased birds

Birds showing evidence of disease upon entry to or during a show shall be properly segregated and cared for and reported promptly by the * * * superintendent of the show to a representative of the commissioner of agriculture and natural resources. It is recommended: (1) Since all birds returned from a show are potential sources of infection, they be isolated immediately after their return from all other birds. This isolation should be maintained at least until it has been established that the birds are not carriers of disease-producing agents as may be determined by exposure of a few susceptible birds to direct contacts with them; (2) shows be of not more than three days' duration; (3) there be solid partitions between coops, and (4) satisfactory provisions be made for air disinfection.
