K.S.A. 47-658a

Whenever the state animal health commissioner determines that any domestic animal is affected with brucellosis, the animal health commissioner or the authorized representative of the animal health commissioner, may proceed at once to identify such reactor animal by causing such reactor animal to be branded with the letter "B" on the left jaw by hot iron. The animal health commissioner may approve the use of other methods for the identification of brucellosis reactors.
