P-42, r. 7 - Regulation respecting the identification and traceability of certain animals

Section 5 Disposition versions

2012-09-01

5. The tags issued may be affixed only to animals that are found at the operation or at the establishment for livestock auctions for which the tags were issued. Where tags are issued to the importer, the tags may also be affixed to the animals before their importation.

A tag is valid as long as it remains on the animal to which it was affixed provided that it remains easily readable and in good working order and its fastener is not altered.

The number of any tag that is no longer valid must be sent to the Minister or, as the case may be, to the management body, within 30 days after the day on which it becomes invalid.

Every unused tag must be kept on the premises of the operation or establishment for livestock auctions unless the tag is for an imported animal. It must be shown on request to an inspector designated under section 22.2 of the Act.
