About this statute

Preamble and overview of the animal husbandry law: it sets general responsibility for animal keepers, gives the minister power to issue detailed rules, grants public access to certain register information, and includes a few specific limits such as a ban on dark breeding of pheasant game. A veterinarian who suspects a listed disease must investigate, take samples if needed, and report it to the designated authority. Ministeren can set rules and issue orders on animal disease and zoonotic-control measures, and a herd owner or representative must follow the vet’s instructions when using prescription medicines. The Minister for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries may temporarily withdraw the right to treat animals with some or all prescription medicines if the stated conditions are met and there is an imminent risk of misuse. A person whose rights are withdrawn may ask a court to review the withdrawal, and the minister must inform the herd owner or their representative about that right. A request for review must be made within 4 weeks after notice of the decision.
