To obtain indemnity payments pursuant to this section, cattle infected with tuberculosis, paratuberculosis or brucellosis, or glandered horses, mules or asses shall not be killed until they have been inspected by the State Veterinarian, or his designee, or another veterinarian licensed by the State Board of Veterinary Examiners and determined by him to be so infected. When any such animal is killed because of any of the above-mentioned diseases, the actual cash value of the diseased animal immediately prior to killing shall be fixed within twenty-four hours thereafter by appraisers chosen in the manner described in Section 47-13-380. Indemnity payments, less salvage value, which in no case shall exceed the appraised value of the animal, shall be made by the State to the owner from State or other available sources but in no case shall the State's share of indemnity payments exceed one hundred fifty dollars for a horse, mule or ass nor in the case of cattle shall such share exceed two hundred dollars for any single animal. No animal shall be indemnified for under this section which was imported into the State within six months of the time it is killed. The provisions of this section and the indemnity herein provided may be extended to include individual animals or entire herds exposed to but not yet infected with disease when in the judgment of the officials responsible for disease control and indemnity payments the killing of such exposed animals would contribute substantially to the eradication of the disease to which such animals have been exposed.
