Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order specifies the artificial insemination of mares as a minor treatment, test or operation to which the prohibition of the practice of veterinary surgery by persons other than veterinary surgeons in section 19(1) of the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966 does not apply.
The effect of this Order is to allow such persons who are aged 18 years or more to carry out the artificial insemination of mares if they (i) are undergoing supervised training on an approved course in the artificial insemination of mares, or (ii) hold a certificate of exemption.
Articles 1 and 2 contain introductory provisions. Article 3 specifies the exemption that is to apply. Article 4 sets out the criteria for qualification as a qualified inseminator. Article 5 relates to the issue of certificates of exemption by the Secretary of State. Article 6 relates to the suspension and revocation of certificates of exemption.
A Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared and placed in the library of each House of Parliament. Copies can be obtained from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Animal Welfare Division, Branch D), 6th Floor, 1A Page Street, London SW1P 4PQ.
