(510 ILCS 30/3) (from Ch. 8, par. 136)
Sec. 3.
All owners of dairy or breeding cattle within the State of Illinois
shall submit their cattle for an official test for the detection of
brucellosis upon request by the Department, and shall provide the necessary
facilities for making tests and render such assistance as may be required
by the Department. The direct expense of making such tests shall be paid by
the Department.
The Department may use or authorize the ring test to detect the herds in
which brucellosis exists. All herds producing milk or cream which react to
the ring test shall be given an official test in accordance with rules and
regulations of the Department. If the tests provided for in this Act
disclose that any animal or animals in such herd are infected with
brucellosis and it appears that the public interest would best be served by
their destruction, the owner may be partially indemnified for the loss
sustained, unless otherwise required by the provisions of Section 4 of this
Act.
