These regulations, which come into force on the 28th day after the date of their notification in the Gazette, amend the Animal Remedies Regulations 1980.
They establish requirements under which licensed animal remedies that are hormonal growth promotants (HGP's) can be prescribed and used in New Zealand.
The regulations also clearly distinguish between the use of biochemical substances that are not HGPs and the use of hormones for growth promotion purposes.
Issued under the authority of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989.
