Stock Diseases Act 1923

His Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Stock Diseases Act 1923.

RICHARD AMERY, M.P.,

Minister for Agriculture

Explanatory note

Section 20FB of the Stock Diseases Act 1923 provides that a person must not feed a prohibited substance to stock. Clause 30 of the Stock Diseases (General) Regulation 1997 provides that ruminant tissue (that is, tissue or blood derived from the carcass of a ruminant animal) is a prohibited substance in relation to ruminants. The object of this Regulation is to instead provide that mammalian material (that is, tissue or blood derived from the carcass of a mammal) is a prohibited substance in relation to ruminants.

This Regulation is made under the Stock Diseases Act 1923, including sections

23 (the general power to make regulations) and 20FB.
