Apac Newsletter – Implementation of livestock rules

The document announces the implementation of the Rules in Respect of Livestock Agents published on 2 March 2018 (Board Notice 28 of 2018) by APAC, effective 2 January 2020. It highlights key changes, including conflict of interest management policy requirements, risk mitigation obligations, and renewal/application procedures for registration certificates every two years with a deadline around late March 2020. It directs livestock and game agents to familiarize themselves with the rules and notes that current certificates issued before 2 March 2018 have lapsed, with renewal due by 30 March 2020; thereafter, renewals will be treated as new applications, obtainable via the APAC website and associated online training requirements.
