Veterinary Surgeons Act 1986

His Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1986.

RICHARD AMERY, M.P.,

Minister for Agriculture

Explanatory note

At present a person who is not a registered veterinary surgeon may diagnose pregnancy in cattle only if the person is the owner of the cattle. (See section 37 (4) of the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1986). This prevents such persons from being taught to diagnose pregnancy on cattle owned by other persons. The object of this Regulation is to allow unregistered persons to diagnose pregnancy on such cattle if they do so while undertaking an approved training course in pregnancy diagnosis.

This Regulation is made under the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1986, including section 44 (l) (m) and section 71 (the general regulation making power).
