Breeding Regulations
Assurance of Identity by DNA of the Descent
~ Article 24
For each entered horse or each horse presented
for an entry and for each foal to be registers, the responsible
breeding association may demand an examination of the descent
based on a DNA or other features for assuring the identify
prescribed by legal decree. A DNA type record or the results
of the examination of other features for assuring the identity
are to be deposited at the responsible breeding association.
Before the breeding certificate (account
of descent and birth certificate) are issued, the examinations
of the descent in the form of a DNA examination or the examination
of other features of assuring the identity prescribed by official
decree must have been effected when the indicated descent
is doubtful. This is generally the case, if
- a mare has been covered by two or more
stallions within one or two successive periods of desiring
the stallion,
- the duration of the pregnancy deviates
from the average duration of pregnancy of the respective
breed by 30 days or more
- the foal was not identified while accompanying
the mother.
- For securing the identity, according
to section 6 of the Master Agreement of the FN laid down
in article 14 of the Regulations on Breeding Associations
based on article 2of the Regulations on the Participation
of the Insemination Stations in the Breeding Programs of
May 16, 1991, an appropriate amount tied to the purpose
of making up for the costs of the examinations of descent
is to be transferred to the responsible breeding association
so that at least 10 % of the foals born in the respective
year within the responsibility range of the breeding association
may be examined.
At the presentation of a stallion for
the acquisition of a license and an entry a DNA record card
or an account of other features for assuring the identity
of the mother and the sire of the stallion prescribes by official
decree are to be handed in.
If the mare or the stallion is to be entered
at another breeding association, the Canadian Oberlander
Horse Association is obliged to provide administrative aid
for securing the identity.
Above that, at the time of the acquisition
of a license or at the time of the acquisition of an entry
an examination of the descent by a DNA examination of other
features for securing the identity of the corresponding stallion
prescribed by official decree is required by the responsible
breeding association. The costs are to be borne by the applicant
in any case.
Stallions lacking a sufficient
identification are to be excluded from the licensing event.
As a further required document
for securing the identity an account of the submission of
a DNA record or the results of the examination of other
features for securing of the identity of the parents are
to be presented.
An important prerequisite for the admittance
to licensing and for the licensing event itself is that the
stallion has no defects in the state health to affect the
ability to breed and the breeding value.
Defects of the health are, among other:
- An impairment of the sexual organs
justifying considerable objections against a use of the
stallion in breeding.
- Signs justifying the assumption of
a hereditary disposition to diseases.
- Operations for the purpose of correcting
deficiencies of the body.
