178: Transitional control of brucellosis and tuberculosis in cattle and tuberculosis in deer

You could also call this:

"Old rules still apply for controlling sickness in cattle and deer"

If you are looking at rules about controlling brucellosis and tuberculosis in cattle and tuberculosis in deer, some old rules still apply. The Director-General gave some directions, notices, or requirements under the Animals Act 1967 before 30 June 1993, and these will keep working after that date. You can still enforce these rules as if the old law had not been repealed.

When the Director-General said some animals had to be slaughtered under the old law, some other rules will still work even though they were repealed by section 167(1). These rules will keep working for the animals that were supposed to be slaughtered.

The Director-General's old decisions about slaughtering animals will still be enforced, and you will follow the same process as before.
