A Registrar of Animal Improvement shall be appointed under section 3. The registrar shall keep a register of semen collectors, inseminators, embryo collectors, embryo transferors, import agents, centres, donor animals, animal breeders' societies and registering authorities which have been registered or approved and in which the prescribed particulars in respect of such semen collectors, inseminators, embryo collectors, embryo transferors, import agents, centres, donor animals, animal breeders' societies and registering authorities shall be recorded. Requirements for registration are specified in section 7. A group of persons may be registered as an animal breeders' society if: (a) the kind of animal or a specified breed of such kind of animal with which such a group of persons is concerned, has been declared in terms of section 2 to be an animal for the purpose of this Act; (b) no other such registration has been granted in respect of an animal breeders' society which is concerned with the same breed of such kind of animal; (c) the constitution of such group of persons specifically provides objectives listed in section 11. Section 13 prescribes restriction of certain actions in respect of animals and genetic material, whereas sections 14 and 15 contain restrictions on sale or importation of genetic material and restriction on certain actions with reference to studbook animals, respectively. The Minister may, by notice in the Gazette, establish a scheme for the evaluation and certification of the performance of animals or a kind of breed of animal specified in the notice, with the objective of improving the genetic production potential of such animals.
