This Order supersedes the Poultry Breeding Flocks and Hatcheries (Registration and Testing) Order 1989 as amended. It simplifies the requirements for registration and testing for salmonella in breeding flocks and hatcheries. It also implements, in part, Council Directive 92/117/EEC. It provides for the registration of breeding flocks (Article 3) and hatcheries (Article 4). It also provides for the taking of samples for bacteriological testing for salmonella (Articles 5 to 7).
