🇬🇧 English

This order creates a formal reporting system for breeding animals used in public artificial insemination for cattle, goats, sheep, and pigs. It sets up a personal-data database managed under the Agriculture Ministry, with technical institutes handling declarations for ruminants and pigs. Breeders, owners, keepers, and semen-dose holders will need to file declarations by email or through online systems, and include zootechnical certificates and, where relevant, performance or genetic evaluation records. The practical effect is tighter traceability of animals and semen used in public artificial insemination programs.
