CONDITIONS WHICH SEMEN COLLECTED AT APPROVED CENTRES MUST SATISFY FOR THE PURPOSES OF TRADE

Semen must be obtained from animals which:

( a ) show no clinical signs of disease on the day the semen is collected;

( b ) in the case of semen to be imported—

(i) have not been vaccinated against foot-and-mouth disease; or

(ii) come from a centre where all the animals have been fully protected against types A, O and C;

— and are thus either animals which were not previously vaccinated against foot-and-mouth disease and shall, therefore, have received two doses of inactivated virtus vaccine approved and controlled by the competent authority of the exporting Member State at an interval of not less than 6 weeks and not more than 8 months, or animals which were vaccinated on at least 3 occasions at intervals of not more than one year.

Where vaccination is practised, all animals must receive vaccinations at intervals of not more than 12 months;

( c ) have not been vaccinated against foot-and-mouth disease within 30 days immediately prior to collection;

( d ) have been kept at an approved semen collection centre for a continuous period of at least 30 days immediately prior to collection of the semen;

( e ) are not allowed to serve naturally;

( f ) are kept in semen collection centres which have been free from foot-and-mouth disease for at least three months prior to collection of the semen and 30 days after collection, and are situated in the centre of an area of 10 kilometres' radius in which for at least 30 days there has been no case of foot-and-mouth disease;

( g ) have been kept in semen collection centres which, during the period commencing 30 days prior to collection and ending 30 days after collection of the semen, have been free from those bovine diseases which are compulsorily notifiable in accordance with Annex E to Directive 64/432/EEC.

Antibiotics as listed below shall be added to produce these concentrations in the final diluted semen:


not less than:	500 IU per ml streptomycin,
	500 IU per ml penicillin,
	150 Ug per ml lincomycin,
	300 Ug per ml spectinomycin.

An alternative combination of antibiotics with an equivalent effect against campylobacters, leptospires and mycoplasmas may be used.

Immediately after their addition the diluted semen shall be kept at a temperature of at least 5°C for a period of not less than 45 minutes.

Semen shall:

(i) be stored in approved conditions for a minimum period of 30 days prior to dispatch,

(ii) be transported in flasks which have been cleaned and disinfected or sterilised before use and which have been sealed prior to dispatch from the approved storage facilities.

EXPLANATORY NOTE.

These Regulations give legal effect to a number of EC Zootechnical and Veterinary Council Directives and Commission Decisions in the area of trade in and approval for breeding of bovine breeding animals, their semen, ova and embryos.

These Regulations should now, by virtue of the directly applicable rules of Community Law, be considered to be the only regulatory provisions applicable to the matters dealt with by the Regulations and any parallel provisions contained in other domestic legislation are regarded as having been disapplied. These Regulations will be applied by the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry on this basis.

Copies of the relevant Council Directives and Commission Decisions may be obtained from the Government Publications Sale Office, Molesworth Street, Dublin 2.
