Article 6. Slaughter Of Reacting Bovine Animals of California Food And Agricultural Code >> Division 5. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 3. >> Article 6.
Any bovine animal in a brucellosis control area that reacts
positively to a test for brucellosis shall immediately be identified
pursuant to the regulations of the secretary. The animal shall be
slaughtered within 30 days in accordance with the regulations of the
secretary.
The value of an animal which is slaughtered shall be
determined by appraisement by a representative of the department or a
representative of the Agricultural Research Service of the United
States Department of Agriculture, and by the owner or his agent. If
such persons do not agree on the valuation of the animal, the animal
shall be appraised by the chief appraiser of the department or his
representative. In either event, the value which is determined is
final.
Within 30 days after the appraisal of the animal, it shall
be slaughtered under the supervision of the director.
Where it is necessary to prevent the spread within this
state of bovine brucellosis, the director may provide for the
slaughter of animals.

part or all of the following:
