Abstract

This Law concerns the protection of health of animals, i.e. any ruminating animal, swine, horse or honey bee (inclusing animals living in the wild). The Law to a certain extent also applies to poultry and may be made applicable, by Order, to other animals. The Law defines various measures that shall be taken to prevent the spreading of infectious diseases and prohibits the importation of bovine animals. It, among other things, defines general powers of the Minister, defines powers of inspectors, provides with respect to measures that are aimed at preventing animal diseases, provides with respect to enforcement measures, and defines offences. In this Law “disease” means a disease or pest specified in Schedule 1. The Minister shall appoint a States Veterinary Officer for purposes of this Law. Where the Minister is satisfied that there is a risk of a disease spreading to Jersey or from wild animals within Jersey the Minister may take any reasonable measures to reduce that risk or to contain the disease. The measures may include, but are not limited to, any of the measures listed in Schedule 4. A person who suspects that an animal or bird or its carcase is affected by disease must immediately notify the Minister. order-making powers of the Minister include, among other things, the power to regulate animal feedingstuffs and the inclusion of medication in feedingstuffs.
