“NEW ZEALAND DAIRY BOARD”

At its meeting on 25 July 2000, the Dairy Board resolved (Board Resolution No: 11306) to approve the Terms and Conditions of Herd Testing Licences issued by the New Zealand Dairy Board pursuant to the Herd Testing Regulations 1958 as set out below, to take effect on the issue of any new licences.

L. A. I KAVANAGH, Corporate Secretary, New Zealand Dairy Board.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF HERD TESTING LICENCES ISSUED BY NEW ZEALAND DAIRY BOARD

Pursuant to its powers under the Dairy Board Act 1961 and the Herd Testing Regulations 1958, the New Zealand Dairy Board (“NZDB”) sets the following terms and conditions (“Conditions”) to apply to all herd testing licences issued by the NZDB. The purpose of these Conditions is to ensure the integrity of data supplied to or held in the National Dairy Herd Improvement Database (“Database”) by:

(a) setting and maintaining uniform standards for the accurate collection and processing of all herd testing data; and

(b) ensuring that all herd testing in New Zealand is conducted in a consistent and uniform manner nationwide.

The integrity of herd testing data is essential in order to optimise milk quality and the rate of genetic gain in the national dairy herd to the benefit of the New Zealand dairy industry.

Licence Holder to Supply All Herd Testing Data

1.1 The Licence Holder shall faithfully and accurately collect and supply to the Database Manager all herd testing data relating to its herd testing activities and such other data as may be required from time to time by the Database Manager. All data shall be provided strictly in accordance with any time limits prescribed by these Conditions or by the Database Manager, or where no time is specified, forthwith as soon as reasonably possible. In default of the Licence Holder supplying such data, the Database Manager may obtain these.

1.2 The Licence Holder shall supply to the Database Manager, within 7 days of the data coming under its control, a copy of the RDIPM for every animal for which information is received or recorded by the Licence Holder.

1.3 The Licence Holder shall supply to the Database Manager before 31 July in each year such data as will enable the Database Manager to provide NZDB with a summary of its herd testing operations showing all herds, cows and samples tested and test results for the previous 12 month season for which the licence has been granted.

1.4 All data collected by the Licence Holder pursuant to a herd testing licence shall be supplied to the Database Manager and not to any other person, except as is otherwise permitted in accordance with the Access Code.

Integrity of Information

2.1 The Licence Holder shall ensure that all data it supplies is valid, accurate and complete in accordance with the Database Manager’s requirements.

2.2 The Licence Holder shall take out or maintain adequate insurance against any failure, breach or default of these Conditions by the Licence Holder and hereby indemnifies the NZDB in respect of all damages, costs, claims or expenses (including legal fees) incurred by or awarded or made against the NZDB and arising out of or in connection with such failure, default or breach.

2.3 The Licence Holder shall comply with all methods or systems of identification of farms, farmers, herds, animals, locations and stored genetic material, and with all quality control procedures and record formats that may from time to time be required by the Database Manager.

2.4 The Licence Holder shall on request (but no more frequently than annually) demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Database Manager or the NZDB that it operates quality control procedures to ensure as far as it is practicable that the animal details, the location details for the herd and the herd testing results it has reported for each animal, are suitable for use in animal evaluation and for research, in that:

(a) Up-to-date, complete and accurate date of birth, identification, mating and birth details for each animal that has been in the herd during the period that the herd test service has been provided by the licence holder are recorded on the database;

(b) The lactation identification and test day production detail information associated with each animal can be field verified to the specific cow;

(c) The cows tested are not treated in any way so as to cause the herd test results for the period they are
