(B) All persons keeping animals shall comply with the following regulations:
(1) Manure and droppings shall be removed from pens, stables, yards, cages, and other enclosures as necessary to maintain sanitary conditions and handled or disposed of in a manner so as to keep the premises free of any nuisances;
(2) Mound storage of droppings or manure between removals shall be permitted only under conditions so as to protect against the breeding of flies and to prevent migration of fly larvae (maggots) into the surrounding soil;
(3) Watering troughs or tanks shall be provided that are equipped with adequate facilities for draining the overflow so as to prevent the breeding of flies, mosquitoes, and other insects; and
(4) No putrescible material shall be allowed to accumulate on the premises, and all such material used to feed that is unconsumed shall be removed and disposed of by burial or other sanitary means.
