The Dourine Act, 1910. As it is necessary that a single integrated legislation applicable to the whole State be formulated, this Act is placed before the Legislature. This Act embodies all the essential provisions contained in the Acts now in force in the different areas. Livestock fall a prey to a host of contagious diseases and in order to protect them from the ravages of these diseases, prompt measures have to be taken to prevent their occurrence, and check their spread to the healthy area. Among such steps are:— (1) Segregation of infected animals and restricting the movement of such ailing animals to other parts to prevent the spread of the infection to the healthy area. (2) Prohibition of large collection of livestock such as, in connection with cattle fairs, car festivals, etc., in areas where a contagious disease has broken out. (3) Undertaking preventive inoculations of livestock to protect them against the disease. (4) Effective treatment of infected cases.
