Anagraphic Register of Equidae
According to Law n. 200 of the
1st August 2003 and the relevant decree of the 5th May
2006, the Anagraphic Register of Equidae has been activated the 1st
January 2007, and since then all the equine animals in Italy must be identified
and registered on the Anagraphic Register of Equidae.
The Minister of Agriculture,
Food and Forestry charged the Italian breeders Association to manage temporary
and in a simplified form this Register.
Consequent the issue of the Reg.
CE 504/08 that specify the norm for the managing of equidae database, enforced
in Italy with Ministerial Decree of 29th December 2009 and D.M. of
29th September 2011, AIA continues, through its Peripheral Offices,
to identify the equine animals as “common” or “farm animals” and the equine
breeds enrolled in the Anagraphic Register
and in the Genealogical Books, bringing the necessary modifications to
the managing procedure to be in compliance with the existing legal framework.
The role of AIA is to
coordinate the Peripheral Offices in charge of the correct application of legal
framework and the managing and updating of the registration procedure to the
Register.
On March 2012, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry
of Health committed to AIA the managing of BDEP ( Temporary Equidae Database),
in order to include in a unique Database the equine breeds located all over the
national area and registered in the Genealogical Books managed by the authorized
entities. Moreover AIA developed cooperation procedures with the BDN (National
Database) of Teramo. This collaboration permits to all approved slaughterhouses
the transferring of data when the slaughtered took place, as requested by the
legal framework, and finally it is also possible verifying the identification
of the equine.
