§ 76. Quarantine  on  animals  or  premises.  1. The commissioner, any
  department employed veterinarian authorized  by  the  commissioner,  any
  veterinarian   in   the  employ  of  the  United  States  department  of
  agriculture who is working in this  state  in  connection  with  disease
  control programs cooperatively conducted by the United States department
  of  agriculture  and the department, or, when acting under the direction
  of any department employed veterinarian authorized by  the  commissioner
  to  provide such direction, any accredited veterinarian and any licensed
  veterinary technician in the employ of  the  department  may  order  any
  animal  to  be  put  in  quarantine  if such animal (a) is affected with
  communicable disease, (b) has been exposed to  a  communicable  disease,
  (c)  is  believed  to  be  suffering  from  or exposed to a communicable
  disease, or (d) is suspected of having biological or  chemical  residues
  in  its  tissues  which  would  cause  the  carcass or carcasses of such
  animal, if slaughtered, to be adulterated within  the  meaning  of  this
  chapter,  and  may  order  any  premises  or  farm where such disease or
  condition exists or shall have recently existed to be put in  quarantine
  so  that  no  domestic  animal  shall  be removed from or brought to the
  premises quarantined during the time  of  quarantine.  The  commissioner
  shall  prescribe such regulations affecting animals, persons or property
  as he may deem necessary or expedient to prevent  the  dissemination  of
  the disease or condition from the premises so quarantined.
2.  Any  employee  of the department so authorized by the commissioner
  may impose pursuant to subdivision one  hereof  a  quarantine  (a)  upon
  cattle, swine or poultry whenever there is a reasonable cause to believe
  that such animals have been fed garbage, offal or carcasses in violation
  of section seventy-two-a of this chapter and (b) upon any horse required
  to  have  been  tested  in accordance with section ninety-five-c of this
  chapter if the custodian of such animal does not produce for examination
  a negative test certificate.
3. Whenever the owner of any bovine animal refuses or neglects to have
  any such animal tuberculin tested or whenever the owner of any  domestic
  animal of a species for which a disease control program has been adopted
  and  instituted  by the commissioner pursuant to this article refuses or
  neglects to subject such animal to such tests  or  examinations  as  may
  have   been   established   under  such  disease  control  program,  the
  commissioner may order the premises or farm  on  which  such  animal  is
  harbored  to  be put in quarantine so that no animal of the same species
  shall be removed from or brought to the  premises  quarantined,  and  so
  that  no product of such animals on the premises so quarantined shall be
  removed from the said premises. Nothing provided in this  section  shall
  prevent  the  addition  of new animals to a herd under quarantine or the
  removal for immediate slaughter of any animals from the premises or herd
  quarantined if such addition or removal is by written permission of  the
  commissioner and pursuant to rules and regulations adopted by him.
