§ 10.30.030. Animals kept outdoors.

If animals are kept outdoors pursuant to NRS 574.380, an operator or breeder shall:

(a)

Provide a suitable method for the rapid drainage of surface water from the area where each animal is kept.

(b)

Provide each animal with a sufficient amount of shelter to:

(1)

Remain dry from rain and snow; and protect from wind when a high wind warning has been issued by the National Weather Service or which creates a wind chill of less than fifty degrees Fahrenheit;

(2)

Remain sufficiently cool when a heat advisory is issued by the National Weather Service, and at all times have enough shade to protect itself from any direct sunlight that is likely to cause overheating or discomfort; and

(3)

Remain warm when the atmospheric temperature falls below fifty degrees Fahrenheit. If the ambient temperature falls below this temperature, the operator shall provide such an additional amount of clean bedding material or other protection as necessary for the animal to remain warm.

(c)

After considering the ambient temperature, provide each animal with a sufficient amount of food and water necessary to sustain it in a healthy condition at that temperature.
