Does an overseas donor dam flushed prior to 31/12/2002 need to be DNA fingerprinted to record resultant ET calves in our Herd Book Register?
If the overseas donor dam has already been recorded in our Australian Herd Book register then she does not need to be DNA fingerprinted if she was flushed prior to 31/12/2002, however the breeder must supply copy of flush report to validate the flush date. If she is not currently recorded in our Australian Herd Book she will first need to be recorded in the Australian Herd Book before any calves may be registered. In this case the regulations regarding the recording of an imported or overseas animal will apply i.e a DNA type certificate must be supplied.
