  23. Segregation, examination
  
  and treatment of infected animals. – 
  1.     
  
    Where
  
  the Veterinarian has, on receipt of a report or otherwise, reason to believe that
  
  any animal is infected with a scheduled disease, he may, by order in writing, direct
  
  the owner or any other person in charge of such animal-
  a.      to keep it segregated
  
  from other apparently healthy animals; or
  b.     to subject it to such
  
  treatment as may be required under the circumstances.
  1.     
  
  
  2.     
  
    Where
  
  any action has been taken in pursuance of sub-section (1), the Veterinarian shall
  
  forthwith give a detailed report of the incidence of the disease to the Veterinary
  
  Officer.
  3.     
  
    On
  
  receipt of a report from the Veterinarian, the Veterinary Officer shall, as soon
  
  as possible, examine that animal as well as any other animal which could have come
  
  in contact with it, and for that purpose, submit the animal to such test and medical
  
  examination as may be required under the circumstances.
  4.     
  
  
  
    If,
  
  after such test and examination, the Veterinary Officer is of the opinion that an
  
  animal is not infected with any of the scheduled diseases, he shall issue a certificate
  
  in writing that the animal is not infected with any such disease.
