Kan. Admin. Regs. § 9-32-4 - Movement into Kansas of sheep and goats intended for breeding
(a)
(1) All sheep and goats imported into Kansas
for breeding purposes, except those moving directly to a licensed Kansas
livestock market, shall be accompanied by a certificate of veterinary
inspection issued by a veterinarian licensed and accredited in the state of
origin stating that the consigned animals show no clinical signs of, and are
not known to be infected with or exposed to, any infectious or contagious
disease. The certificate of veterinary inspection shall state the full name and
complete physical address of the premises from which the consignment
originated, as well as the full name and complete physical address of the
premises of destination in Kansas.
(2) If a special permit number from the
Kansas animal health department is required before movement of any sheep or
goats, the special permit number shall be included on the certificate of
veterinary inspection.
(b) All sheep and goats listed on the
certificate of veterinary inspection shall meet one of the following
requirements:
(1) Be individually identified
with official identification; or
(2) be permanently identified to the premises
of origin including the type of official identification used, which may include
registered brands or tattoos, electronic implants, official eartags, radio
frequency identification, and premises identification tags or tattoos. The
number of sheep or goats, or both, included in the consignment shall be listed
on the certificate of veterinary inspection.
(c)
(1) In
addition to the certificate of veterinary inspection, all sheep and goats shall
be accompanied by an owner statement declaring one of the following:
(A) No sheep or goats in the consignment are
known to be high-risk animals or known to be infected with or exposed to
scrapie or to have originated from a source flock.
(B) The sheep or goats in the consignment are
scrapie-exposed animals that originate from a flock in compliance with an
approved flock plan in the state of origin. These sheep and goats shall have a
special permit number obtained from the Kansas animal health department before
movement of any shipment containing these animals. This special permit number
shall appear on the certificate of veterinary inspection or the owner
statement.
(2) The
owner statement required by paragraph (c)(1) may be signed by a veterinarian,
rather than the owner, at an approved livestock market if both of the following
conditions are met:
(A) All consignors of
sheep or goats are notified in writing or by signs posted at the livestock
market that any sheep or goat known to be an exposed animal, suspect animal, or
high-risk animal is required to be identified as such to the market upon
consignment.
(B) The
identification of these animals is maintained throughout the sale.
