Notice

1. All homekill and recreational catch service providers must keep records and information that demonstrates that all homekill and recreational catch animal material received is accounted for, and specifies:

1. the approximate amount/type/quantity and origin of the animal material received;
2. the animal material/product returned to the animal owner or hunter; and
3. what has happened to the non-edible parts of the animal, such as the hide, that is permitted to be traded.

1. Despite the generality of clause 1, when a homekill and recreational catch service provider slaughters any animal [including slaughters and any other processing], he or she must record the following information:—

1. the date the service was provided;
2. the name, address and phone number of the animal owner;
3. the animal species, sex and approximate age;
4. any distinguishing marks, e.g. eartag number, brand, earmark:

   - for cattle and deer only the herd identification and individual animal number must be recorded where the animal has such a number in accordance with the Animal Health Board’s "National Herd Identification Scheme"; and

5. what homekill material/product (including the hide) was delivered and to whom.

1. A homekill and recreational catch service provider that processes but does not slaughter, must record the following information:—

1. the date the service was provided;
2. the name, address and phone number of the animal owner;
3. a description of the homekill or recreational catch received including animal species; and
4. what homekill material/product (including the hide if appropriate) was delivered and to whom.

1. Homekill and recreational service providers must have a system to identify and distinguish each animal owner’s material and product from that belonging to another owner.
2. The homekill and recreational catch service provider must keep separate records of hides and skins received and sold, the animal species involved, the dates of the transactions and the name and address of the purchaser of the hides and skins.
3. In the special case where a homekill and recreational catch service provider processes an animal for humane reasons (when that animal is neither on the animal owner’s nor the service provider’s property), the service provider must record the date, location, reason for slaughter, and distribution of the animal material, and if known the name and address of the animal owner.
