PART II

If intended for use in contravention of the Code of Ethics, no exhibitor and no agent, employee or other person acting on behalf of an exhibitor, will have in his or her possession or control any hypodermic syringe, needle or other device, swabs, cloths, or other material, or any medicine, preparation or substance whether in liquid or any other form.

2. Exhibitors will not be allowed to wrap hocks or drain fluid from hocks at a show.

3. All entries and the personal property of all exhibitors, their servants and agents and person acting on behalf of exhibitors, are subject to inspection by inspectors authorized by a show. All shall provide all such information in connection with such inspections and will provide access to the animal and all information reasonably required by inspectors in connection with such inspections and shall provide, if so requested, samples of urine and blood suitable for analysis. Exhibitors will also remove any udder supports or other objects limiting the ability of the inspector to undertake a thorough inspection. In particular, the inspectors will be informed in advance, of the nature of any medicine, treatment or substance administered to any entry and the reasons therefore. Inspections under this paragraph may be carried out at any time while the animal is at the show and elsewhere in the period ending 30 days after the termination of the show between the hours of 6:00a.m. and 8:00p.m.

4. Any inspector may, at any time, require the delivery to him of any hypodermic syringe, needle or other device, swabs, cloths or other material, or samples or any other form, in the possession or control of the exhibitor, his servants, agents or persons acting on behalf of the exhibitor for the purposes of laboratory analysis.

5. (A) Subject to provisions of the subparagraph (B), the following entries are disqualified and will not participate further in the show in which the entry was disqualified. (i) Any animal determined by an inspector, who is also a veterinarian, to have an udder manifesting any of the following: localized swelling, oedema, erthema, sensitivity, reddening, firmness, warmth or exfoliation of the skin, but excluding a general oedema associated with parturition or mastitis, or a sore in the area where the large blood vessels enter the udder. (ii) Any animal entered by an exhibitor whose sevants, agents or persons acting on his behalf, fails to cooperate in the inspections provided for under paragraphs three or four.

(B) The inspector’s determination pursuant to the subparagraph (A)(i) is subject to an appeal by the exhibitor to the appeal committee appointed by the show for the purpose. Any such appeal must be made by notice in writing delivered to the show management within one hour of notification of the inspector’s determination.

In keeping with the basic philosophy of the fair/exhibition/ show committee, ethics is an individual responsibility. However, it should be understood that violators are subject to the disciplinary provision of the Rules and Regulations.
