A second critical step for contagious diseases is generally to slaughter all susceptible animals on the infected premise and dispose of them in a way that eliminates infectious risk (burial or burning) along with any other infectious material such as bedding or other material. For diseases that are not highly contagious, it may be appropriate to test animals and only slaughter those that are known to be infected. Alternatively animals may be able to be sent for processing but not transferred to any other property.
