UNNACCEPTABLE PRACTICES BEEF Should any contrivance or device of any description (such as injection) be found or proved to have been used on any animal for any purpose, or if any other practice considered improper is performed on any animal at any time while the animal is on the Showground, the Council or its nominated representative, at its absolute discretion, shall have the power to disqualify the animal so concerned from any award or trophy at the Show and may prohibit the owner of such animal from exhibiting at future Shows. The Council reserves the right to have all animals inspected by persons nominated by them, either prior to, during, or after judging. 25 DAIRY In addition to the above practices for Beef Cattle, the following practices and/or procedures are prohibited when showing registered dairy cattle: a) misrepresenting the age or ownership of an animal; b) filling an animal’s rumen unnaturally with liquid (tubing); c) balancing the udder by any means other than by leaving naturally produced milk in any or all quarters; d) treating the udder internally with an irritant, counter-irritant, or any other substance to temporarily improve conformation or produce unnatural animation; e) treating the udder externally with an irritant, counter-irritant, or any other substance to temporarily improve conformation or produce unnatural animation.

Inspection All Participants at the Show shall provide promptly to the Show Office and/or Inspectors, upon request, whatever information and produce any documents reasonably required for the proper monitoring of compliance with the Showing Rules and shall fully co-operate with any inspections. All entries to the Show and personal property of the Participants are subject to inspection by the Inspectors. Participants shall co-operate with the Inspectors, provide access to the animal and shall provide all such information as is reasonably required in connection with such inspections. Participants shall provide to an Inspector, if requested, samples of urine, milk, blood, or any other body fluids suitable for analysis. Participants shall not deliver any medication, preparation or substance to their animals, by any method whilst on site, except that administered by the Show veterinarian. The only exception being that participants can deliver medication which has been disclosed at Bio-Security, upon entry to the Showground, so that the duty vet is aware of the substance and why it is being used. Additionally Inspectors or their nominated representatives shall have the authority to perform on any animal entered in the Show any of the following: a) a milkout, collection and testing of any of the animal’s body fluids of any individual cow or cows, after the milking classes have completed; and b) the use at any time of any other technology and other inspections and/or analysis, that the Inspector considers may be useful for assessing compliance with the Showing Rules. 6. Following completion of milking cow classes the Organisers and/or Inspectors shall have the option to take milk samples from a representative group of cows, prior to milkout, from a representative number of the milking cow classes. If inspections are to be carried out, an announcement will be made prior to the judging of the milking cow classes. 34. MILKING The vacuum pump in the Dairy will be available for the use of exhibitors arriving on Thursday 9 July. However milk will be accepted for payment between the hours of 5 pm and 7 pm only. The Show being purely of an educational nature, it behoves producers of milk to ensure that the milking of cows and disposal of the milk is carried out under hygienic conditions at the Show Dairy. The following Regulations are therefore designed for the benefit of exhibitors and the public. 26 Suitable white clothing must be worn by all attendants. 1) 2) Udders and hind quarters must be in a clean condition before milking. 3) All milking must be done in the Show Dairy. In order to be of assistance to exhibitors and herdsmen the following arrangements have been made: a) All milk produced during the Show will become property of the Society and will be purchased by the Society at 20p per litre. The sale of milk by exhibitors or their herdsmen other than to the Society is strictly prohibited. b) All pails and utensils can be washed and sterilised at the Show Dairy free of charge. c) Hot water will be provided. d) To prevent contamination of milk by antibiotics, random testing of milk will be carried out by Stewards at the Show.

The animal must be placed in the approved isolation accommodation pending sampling by a DEFRA authorised Veterinary Surgeon. If the animal calves or aborts before it can be isolated, full precautions must be taken to isolate and disinfect any possible contaminated standings, bedding, utensils, clothing and vehicles. The animal cannot take part in the Show and once fit to travel* can be returned home. The suspect animal must be isolated during transit. When milking, udder cloths, hands or milking machine units must be suitably disinfected between each cow. Dams may suckle their own calves. All other calves must be fed reconstituted dried milk. * The EU Welfare of Animals in Transport Regulation (EC) No 1/2005.
