Discuss the salient features of Prevention and Control of Infectious and Contagious Diseases in Animals Act, 2009.

The Prevention and Control of Infectious and Contagious Diseases in Animals Act, 2009, is a significant piece of legislation in India, aimed at addressing the challenges posed by animal diseases that can adversely affect both the animals themselves and, in some cases, human populations.
