Thereafter the Ordinance treats issues such as the keeping of animals in agriculture (Part 2); in particular, this Part deals with the keeping of pigs, horses, sheep and goats and poultry. Part 3 governs the keeping of other domestic animals and especially of dogs. The Ordinance consists of 56 articles divided into 4 Parts and 7 Annexes.
