I will ensure that any Bobby Calf I send for slaughter is not within the meat withholding period of any animal remedy or treatment:
• Administered to that calf (see note 1 reverse)
• Given to the dam before the birth (see note 2 reverse)
• Given to any cow that has been used to supply milk to the calf (see note 3 reverse)

Yes No
Have any of the animals in the herd been vaccinated against Johne’s disease in their lifetime (see note 5 reverse) Yes No
As part of this agreement I undertake to ensure that all who work with these animals are instructed to the need to comply with these
requirements.
If I become aware that any calf has been inadvertently sent for slaughter while not meeting any of these conditions, I shall immediately
inform AFFCO New Zealand Ltd.
DECLARATION: I declare that as the supplier of calves intended for human food, this Bobby Calf Status Declaration is true and
accurate, and that I have read, understood and agree that I must abide by the requirements set out in both sides of this form. Unless I
advise AFFCO New Zealand Ltd of any change prior to 30 November 2015, this declaration will remain valid until that date.

Bobby Calf Status Declaration
•
I/We agree to abide strictly by the “Code of Recommendations and minimum standards of the Welfare of Bobby
Calves” as required by the Ministry for Primary Industries.
Calves Fit For Transport - must be more than four days old;
•
Be fed at least half of their daily ration of colostrum or milk not more than two hours before transport. Stomach
must not be concave (sunken).
•
Be healthy - no visible disease (e.g scours), deformity, injury, blindness or disability.
•
Be alert eyes bright - not dull or shrunken.
•
Strong - able to bear weight on all four limbs - not slow and unsteady. Able to rise from a lying position and move
freely around the pen.
•
Hooves are firm and worn flat - not rounded with unworn, soft tissue.
•
Navel - dry and withered - not pink/red, raw or fleshy.
I/We acknowledge these tags remain the property of AFFCO New Zealand Ltd and will only be used for the identifications
of bobby calves for supply to AFFCO New Zealand Ltd. The information on this declaration must be accurate. If any calf is
sent to slaughter while not meeting any of these conditions, I shall immediately inform AFFCO New Zealand Ltd.
NOTE 1: Calves treated directly with any antimicrobial agent (e.g. antibiotic or sulpha drugs) must not be submitted
for slaughter. Treatment with an approved electrolytic which is labelled to indicate that there is not
withholding period is permitted.
NOTE 2: Where a pregnant cow has been treated with any animal remedy and calves before the meat withholding
period of the product has elapsed, then the calf may not be submitted for slaughter until the cow becomes
eligible for slaughter.
NOTE 3: Calves may be indirectly exposed to chemical residues if they are fed milk from a treated cow. If calves are
exposed to chemical residues via cow’s milk, they are not fit for slaughter until after the expiry of the meat
withholding period of the cow providing milk.
NOTE 4: Residue Movement Control: When animals at slaughter are found to exceed the permissible limit for any
animal remedy, pesticide or other contaminant, MPI will place the risk source farm under movement
control. This prevents the movement of animals off the farm without MPI permit. In cases where a farm
is placed under movement control after the supplier has supplied a seasonal declaration to the slaughter
facility and submit a new seasonal declaration.
NOTE 5: Johne’s Vaccination: If you do not know the Johne’s disease vaccination status of any animal you must
circle ‘YES’.
NOTE 6: AFFCO will also require suppliers to use yellow tags if they appear on the MPI TB Suspect/ Blackleg list.
TB Status: C= Clear Status Suspended = if TB suspect or herd not yet tested. I = infected (confirmed TB).
