    All milk and milk products consumed raw shall be from herds or additions thereto which have been found free from brucellosis, as shown by blood serum tests or other approved tests for agglutinins against brucella organisms made in a laboratory approved by the director.  All such herds shall be retested at least every twelve months and all reactors removed from the herd.  If a herd is found to have one or more animals positive to the brucellosis test, all milk from that herd is to be pasteurized until the three consecutive brucellosis tests obtained at thirty-day intervals between each test are found to be negative.  A certificate identifying each animal by number and signed by the laboratory making the test shall be evidence of the above test.))

    (2) Milk or milk products from cows, goats, and other mammals intended for consumption in the raw state must be from a herd which is tested negative within the previous twelve months for brucellosis, tuberculosis, and any other disease the director may designate by rule.  Additions to the herd must be tested negative for the diseases within the previous thirty days before introduction into the herd.  The state veterinarian shall direct all testing procedures in accordance with state and national standards for animal disease eradication.

    (3) Cows ((which show an extensive or entire induration of one or more quarters of the udder upon physical examination)), goats, and other mammals showing chronic mastitis, whether ((secreting)) producing abnormal milk or not, shall be permanently excluded from the milking herd.  Cows ((giving)), goats, and other mammals producing bloody, ((or)) stringy, or otherwise abnormal milk, but with only slight ((induration)) inflammation of the udder shall be excluded from the herd until reexamination shows that the milk has become normal.
