The Animal Health and Welfare Act 1984 was a piece of UK legislation that amended the provisions of the Animal Health Act 1981 related to
- the seizure of things for the purpose of preventing the spread of disease,
- powers of entry upon private premises,
- declarations as to places infected with a disease,
- to enable certain orders under that Act to operate in or over territorial waters,
- to amend the Slaughter of Poultry Act 1967,[1]
- to enable provision to be made for controlling the practice of artificial breeding of livestock,
- to repeal the Improvement of Live Stock (Licensing of Bulls) Act 1931 and the Horse Breeding Act 1958,
- to amend the Medicines Act 1968 in relation to feeding stuffs and veterinary drugs,[2] the registers of which are kept by the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain[3]
The Criminal Justice Act 2003 increased the penalties related to the artificial breeding of livestock to 51 weeks from the 3 months stated in this 1984 Act.[4]
