2-40-904. Arsenical dip.

(a) (1) The Arkansas Livestock and Poultry Commission, working in cooperation with the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service, is authorized to provide arsenical dip for the charging of vats, in which to dip cattle for the purpose of reducing ticks in the State of Arkansas, to any county in the State of Arkansas when, in the judgment of the State Veterinarian, dipping is necessary.

(2) Counties desiring dipping shall establish dipping vats within the respective counties at locations to be designated by the county court, acting in conjunction with the State Veterinarian.

(b) No arsenical dip is to be furnished by the commission for the charging of any dipping vat unless the vat and its adjacent drain pens have a cover which, in the judgment of the State Veterinarian or his or her agent, is sufficient to prevent dilution of the dipping solution by rain.

(c) Counties which establish vats under the provisions of this subchapter shall have preference in any dipping program hereinafter carried out by the commission or the State Veterinarian.
