Notifying changes to a breeding program

You must notify the competent authority of any planned changes to your approved breeding program. Make reference to the breeding permit issued to you.

Make it clear at which points of the breeding program you wish to make changes.

You can submit your changes in writing or - if possible - online to the competent authority, which will then review them. If the authority raises no objections within 90 days of your submission, your changes are deemed to have been accepted.

As a breeding association or company, you must also ensure that you inform the farms participating in your programs of any changes to breeding programs in a timely and transparent manner as soon as they have been approved.
