01/03/05
Section 1904. Methods research; designation of methods
In furtherance of the policy expressed herein the Secretary is
authorized and directed -
(a) to conduct, assist, and foster research, investigation, and
experimentation to develop and determine methods of slaughter and
the handling of livestock in connection with slaughter which are
practicable with reference to the speed and scope of slaughtering
operations and humane with reference to other existing methods
and then current scientific knowledge; and
(b) on or before March 1, 1959, and at such times thereafter as
he deems advisable, to designate methods of slaughter and of
handling in connection with slaughter which, with respect to each
species of livestock, conform to the policy stated in this
chapter. If he deems it more effective, the Secretary may make
any such designation by designating methods which are not in
conformity with such policy. Designations by the Secretary
subsequent to March 1, 1959, shall become effective 180 days
after their publication in the Federal Register.
