The Minister has stated legislation has been in place since 1984. It seems many records must be kept. Does the section apply to intensive housing units for cattle and sheep? It refers to individual records. Does this mean a record must be kept for each animal? If there are 5,000 pigs or chickens in an intensive housing unit or 1,000 sheep or bullocks, does a record need to be kept for each of them? If that has been the case since 1984, I am not sure it has been fully implemented.
