  assist  in  the eradication of animal diseases and for the protection of
  the public health and public welfare.

e. Notwithstanding  anything  in  the  preceding  paragraphs  of  this
  subdivision  to the contrary, animal feeds which have been heat rendered
  by a rendering plant at a temperature sufficient  to  make  the  product
  commercially sterile shall not be considered garbage, offal or carcasses
  within the meaning of this section.
3.  a.  It shall be unlawful for any person to feed garbage, offal, or
  carcasses, whether cooked or uncooked, to cattle, swine or poultry.
b. This section shall not apply to any individual  who  feeds  garbage
  from  his  own  household  only,  to cattle, swine or poultry on his own

  to aid in preventing or suppressing such disease.
2023 New York Laws › AGM - Agriculture and Markets › Article 5 - Diseases of Domestic Animals; Calves and Veal; Pure Bred Stock; Certificates of Registry. › 78 - Examination of Domestic Animals.

§ 78. Examination  of  domestic  animals.  1.   The commissioner shall
  cause a physical examination  and  a  tuberculin  test  to  be  made  by
  competent   and   authorized   veterinarians   of  all  bovine  animals,
  irrespective of age or sex, and cause all  such  bovine  animals  to  be

  test to be  made  by  competent  and  authorized  veterinarians  of  any
  domestic  animal  or  herds  of domestic animals, irrespective of age or

  disease. If, from such examination or test, any animal be deemed by  the
  commissioner  to be infected with tuberculosis or any other communicable
  disease or its condition be such as to render  it  undesirable  for  the
  production  of  milk or meat, or a menace to the health of other animals
  or persons, such animal shall be  immediately  removed  from  the  herd,
  slaughtered or otherwise disposed of as the commissioner may prescribe.
2.  No  person shall possess, maintain, transport, or otherwise handle
  farmed  deer  except  under  conditions  by  which  such   animals   are
  biologically  segregated  from  bovine animals in a manner prescribed by
  the commissioner, provided however that such  separation  shall  not  be
  required  with respect to any farmed deer maintained under circumstances
  where contact with bovine animals would not pose a threat to the state's
  cattle  population  as  determined  by  the  commissioner  pursuant   to
  regulation.  For  purposes  of this subdivision: (a) "farmed deer" shall
  mean members of family Cervidae which are raised or bred in confinement;
  and (b) "bovine animals" shall mean cattle and bison.  This  subdivision
  shall  take  effect on the one hundred eightieth day after it shall have

§ 90-a. Declaration   of   policy   and  purposes.     Infectious  and
  communicable disease affecting domestic animals continues  to  exist  in
  this  state,  and the existence thereof endangers the health and welfare
  of the people of  the  state.  Despite  the  moneys  spent  to  control,
  suppress  and  eradicate such infection and disease its incidence is the
  concern of the legislature. The powers of  quarantine  and  condemnation
  held  and exercised by the department of agriculture and markets tend to
  suppress but do  not  constitute  an  adequate  control.  It  is  hereby
  declared  to  be  a  matter  of  legislative  determination  that a more
  exacting supervision of those who as a  business  deal  in,  handle  and
  transport  domestic animals is needed in the public interest and that in
  the exercise of the police power such persons  be  required  to  hold  a
  permit before engaging in such activities.
