#AGRT2604599AArtificial Insemination Rules for Public Breeding in Cattle, Sheep, Goats and Pigs
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The order sets traceability and declaration rules for artificial insemination carried out under public breeding arrangements for cattle, sheep, goats and pigs. Semen movements must stay within the authorized channels, and businesses or farmers using semen must keep updated records showing doses received, used or destroyed, including where each dose came from. Companies that place semen for public breeding must file a prior declaration with the relevant technical institute: Institut de l’élevage for ruminants and Institut du porc for pigs. Once the file is complete, the institute assigns zootechnical registration numbers and informs the company of traceability duties and separate billing rules for semen placement services.
