Sec. 46. "Slaughter channels" means animals that are sold, transferred, or moved:

1. (1) directly to a slaughter establishment;
2. (2) to an individual for custom slaughter;
3. (3) for feeding for the express purpose of improving the animal's condition before moving the animal directly to slaughter; or
4. (4) through a sale or market expressly for one (1) of these purposes.

But, an animal that is sexually intact and commingled with breeding animals from another flock is not in slaughter channels, and animals sold for unrestricted sale are not in slaughter channels.
