166A.8 QUARANTINE OF INFECTED SHEEP.
Sheep found to be infected with or exposed to scabies shall be
immediately dipped, as directed by and under the supervision of the
department, at owner's expense. Such sheep shall remain under
quarantine until released by the department, except that sheep
infected with or exposed to scabies may be moved, without dipping,
directly to a slaughter establishment under federal inspection, under
permit from the department. No sheep shall be moved into or within
the state of Iowa for any purpose except as provided in this chapter
and the regulations of the department, provided sheep may be moved
without dipping between properties owned or rented by the owner of
said sheep, if not moved from a noncertified scabies-free area to a
certified scabies-free area.
Any person may sell or exchange sheep on the farm between November
1 and April 1 without dipping if accompanied by a certificate from a
licensed veterinarian that they are free from scabies issued within
ten days prior to such sale or exchange until such time as the county
is declared a scabies-free area. Section History: Early Form
