Statute overview

About this statute

This section says the regulation covers animal welfare in sheep farming. This section defines “lamm får” and “tackor får” for the regulation. Sheep housing and equipment must be easy to keep clean, disinfectable when needed, kept in good repair, and arranged so sheep can be evacuated quickly in an emergency. Chemicals and paints must not be used in a way that could poison sheep. Sick or injured sheep must have a separate suitable box or space for care. Sheep housing spaces must meet the annexed floor-area rules, and certain enclosures must meet minimum sizes. Sheep housing floors must let waste drain or be absorbed, give sheep enough bedding space, protect hooves, and meet floor-size limits; lambing and lamb pens may not have slatted floors, and solid floors for lambs need plenty of bedding.
