Illinois Administrative Code › Title 8 - AGRICULTURE AND ANIMALS › Part 30 - ANIMAL CONTROL ACT › Section 30.90 - Recognized Immunity Period of Animal Rabies Vaccines

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The Department will accept the recognized
			 immunity period of animal rabies vaccines licensed by Biologics Licensing and
			 Standards Staff of Veterinary Services, Animal and Plant Health Inspection
			 Service, United States Department of Agriculture. To aid county officials in
			 enforcing the Animal Control Act, the Department will periodically issue to the
			 Administrator of each county a list of the licensed animal rabies vaccines
			 recognized for use in Illinois, and the recognized immunity period of those
			 vaccines. At such time as new animal rabies vaccines are recognized, or
			 revisions made in recommendations, the Department shall so notify the
			 Administrator.
b) Animal rabies
			 vaccines shall be administered to dogs or other animals by the route and in the
			 amount recommended by the producer of the vaccine.
c) Dogs required to be vaccinated against
			 rabies as specified in Section 8 of the Animal Control Act shall be
			 revaccinated within the time period specified for the particular vaccine
			 administered, EXCEPT that dogs initially vaccinated when less than 1 year of
			 age shall be revaccinated 1 year after the initial vaccination. Thus, when an
			 animal rabies vaccine recognized as conveying a 3-year immunity is administered
			 to a dog which is at least 1 year of age at the time of vaccination, that
			 vaccination shall be recognized for a period of 3 years. If, however, a dog is
			 under 1 year of age at time of initial vaccination with a vaccine recognized as
			 conveying a 3-year immunity, that vaccination will only be recognized for a
			 period of 1 year.
d) The
			 certificate of vaccination issued shall specify the recognized duration of
			 immunity in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) above.
e) When the vaccine manufacturer recommends
			 that 2 doses of an animal rabies vaccine be administered at specific time
			 intervals for initial immunization, a dog receiving such vaccine cannot be
			 considered as officially vaccinated against rabies until it has received both
			 injections AND the rabies vaccination certificate shall not be issued until the
			 dog has received the second injection of the vaccine.
f) There is no recognized vaccine approved
			 for use on wild animals; therefore, wild animals shall not be vaccinated
			 against rabies. Any wild animal so vaccinated shall not be recognized as an
			 official vaccinate and such animal shall be subject to the provisions of the
			 Illinois Dangerous Animals Act [720 ILCS 585 ].

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 8 - AGRICULTURE AND ANIMALS › Part 50 - HUMANE SLAUGHTER OF LIVESTOCK › Section 50.20 - Slaughter Methods; Chemical; Carbon Dioxide

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The slaughtering of sheep, calves and
			 swine with the use of carbon dioxide gas and the handling in connection
			 therewith, in compliance with the provisions contained in these rules, are
			 hereby designated and approved as humane methods of slaughtering and handling
			 of such animals under the Act.
b)
			 Administration of gas; required effective; handling:
1) The carbon dioxide gas shall be
			 administered in a chamber in accordance with these rules so as to produce
			 surgical anesthesia in the animals before they are shackled, hoisted, thrown,
			 cast, or cut. The animals shall be exposed to the carbon dioxide gas in a way
			 that will accomplish the anesthesia quickly and calmly, with a minimum of
			 excitement and discomfort to the animals. In swine, carbon dioxide may be
			 administered to induce death in the animals before they are shackled, hoisted,
			 thrown, cast, or cut.
2) The
			 driving or conveying of the animals to the carbon dioxide chamber shall be done
			 with a minimum of excitement and discomfort to the animals. Delivery of calm
			 animals to the anesthesia chamber is essential since the induction, or early
			 phase, of anesthesia is less violent with docile animals. Among other things
			 this requires that, in driving animals to the anesthesia chamber, electrical
			 equipment be used as little as possible and with the lowest effective
			 voltage.
3) On emerging from the
			 carbon dioxide tunnel, the animals shall be in a state of surgical anesthesia
			 and shall remain in this condition throughout shackling, sticking and bleeding,
			 except for swine in which death has been induced by the administration of
			 carbon dioxide. The provisions of 8 Ill. Adm. Code
			 125.190
			 and
			 125.210 and
			 9 CFR
			 311.30(1990) shall apply.
			 Asphyxia or death from any cause shall not be produced in the animals before
			 bleeding, except for swine in which death has been induced by the
			 administration of carbon dioxide.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 8 - AGRICULTURE AND ANIMALS › Part 50 - HUMANE SLAUGHTER OF LIVESTOCK › Section 50.30 - Slaughter Methods; Mechanical; Captive Bolt

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The slaughtering of sheep, swine, goats,
			 calves, cattle, horses and mules by using captive bolt stunners and handling in
			 connection therewith, in compliance with the provisions contained in these
			 rules, are hereby designated and approved as humane methods of slaughtering and
			 handling of such animals under the Act.
b) Application of stunners; required effect;
			 handling:
1) The captive bolt stunners shall
			 be applied to the livestock in accordance with these rules so as to produce
			 immediate unconsciousness in the animals before they are shackled, hoisted,
			 thrown, cast, or cut. The animals shall be stunned in such a manner that they
			 will be rendered unconscious with a minimum of excitement and
			 discomfort.
2) The driving of the
			 animals to the stunning areas shall be done with a minimum of excitement and
			 discomfort to the animals. Delivery of calm animals to the stunning areas is
			 essential since accurate placement of stunning equipment is difficult on
			 nervous or injured animals. Among other things, this requires that, in driving
			 animals to the stunning areas, electrical equipment be used as little as
			 possible and with the lowest effective voltage.
3) Immediately after the stunning blow is
			 delivered the animals shall be in a state of complete unconsciousness and
			 remain in this condition throughout shackling, sticking and bleeding.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The slaughtering of cattle, calves, sheep,
			 swine, goats, horses and mules by shooting with firearms and the handling in
			 connection therewith, in compliance with the provisions contained in these
			 rules are hereby designated and approved as humane methods of slaughtering and
			 handling of such animals under the Act.
b) Utilization of firearms; required effect;
			 handling:
1) The firearms shall be employed
			 in the delivery of a bullet or projectile into the animal in accordance with
			 these rules so as to produce immediate unconsciousness in the animal by a
			 single shot before it is shackled, hoisted, thrown, cast, or cut. The animals
			 shall be shot in such a manner that they will be rendered unconscious with a
			 minimum of excitement and discomfort.
2) The driving of the animals to the shooting
			 areas shall be done with a minimum of excitement and discomfort to the animals.
			 Delivery of calm animals to the shooting area is essential since accurate
			 placement of the bullet is difficult in case of nervous or injured animals.
			 Among other things, this requires that, in driving animals to the shooting
			 areas, electrical equipment be used as little as possible and with the lowest
			 effective voltage.
3) Immediately
			 after the firearm is discharged and the projectile is delivered, the animal
			 shall be in a state of complete unconsciousness and remain in this condition
			 throughout shackling, sticking, and bleeding.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The slaughtering of swine, sheep, calves,
			 cattle and goats with the use of electric current and the handling in
			 connection therewith, in compliance with the provisions contained in these
			 rules, are hereby designated and approved as humane methods of slaughtering and
			 handling of such animals under the Act.
b) Administration of electric current;
			 required effect; handling:
1) The electric
			 current shall be administered so as to produce, at a minimum, surgical
			 anesthesia (i.e., a state where the animal feels no painful sensation). The
			 animals shall be either stunned or killed before they are shackled, hoisted,
			 thrown, cast, or cut. The animals shall be exposed to the electric current in a
			 way that will accomplish the anesthesia quickly and calmly, with a minimum of
			 excitement and discomfort to the animals.
2) The driving or conveying of the animals to
			 the place of application of electric current shall be done with a minimum of
			 excitement and discomfort to the animals. Delivery of calm animals to the place
			 of application is essential to insure rapid and effective insensibility. Among
			 other things this requires that, in driving animals to the place of
			 application, electrical equipment be used as little as possible and with the
			 lowest effective voltage.
3) The
			 quality and location of the electrical shock shall be such as to produce
			 immediate insensibility to pain in the exposed animal.
4) The stunned animal shall remain in a state
			 of surgical anesthesia through shackling, sticking and bleeding.
