Art. 7 OE · Management of the Herd-Book

The herd-book collects data related to the ancestry, identification, quantitative and qualitative performance, and morphology of breeding animals.

The identification number is the ear tag number for cloven-hoofed animals and the Universal Equine Life Number (UELN) for equines.

In addition to purebred subjects, the herd-book may admit, in separate sections or chapters, hybrid animals or those of unknown ancestry that possess distinctive characteristics of the breed concerned.

Within a section or chapter, animals may be registered separately according to quality classes, considering their ancestry, identification, and performance.

Recognized carriers of hereditary defects must be designated as such in the herd-book and be reported to breeders.

Breeding organizations must establish in regulations how the herd-book should be kept. The regulations must include at least provisions on the following points: a. definition of breed characteristics; b. definition of breeding objectives; c. uniform marking of animals, provided that it is not already prescribed under Art. 10 or 15 a of the Ordinance of June 27, 1995, on Epizootics; d. recording of data on animal ancestry; e. evaluation of herd-book data, animal assessment, performance test results, and estimation of breeding or genetic evaluation; f. minimum requirements for the registration of animals in a defined section or chapter of the herd-book; g. requirements related to admission to the herd-book as well as the right to reproduction.
