Society Fees
£15000 savings on registration costs
The Board has reviewed the fee structure for 2009, taking account of:-
- breeders are our customers. It is your choice whether to register or not;
- the importance of balancing fair cost for all with the work involved and funding
breed development and promotion;
- current fees offer good value compared with other Societies in the UK or overseas;
A significant saving is available for those registering by web.
To take advantage, herds must be up-to-date before entry to the system.
There are also changes to registrations of Young bulls and Embryos

** Paper fee payable for registration of all imported cattle
plus UK born animals not registered within time limits
All registrations qualify for Loyalty Points where payment
is by Direct Debit.
Embryos
* UK Jersey procedures will include the entry of ET1 forms
from 1 Jan 09.
The ET1 fee also ensures UK Jerseys receive income from embryo
exports.
Currently the Society is vulnerable to undertaking all ET1
administration without receiving any income where embryos are
exported.
** Where no ETI is submitted, or the embryo is imported, an
additional ‘Paper’ registration fee per animal
shall apply in addition to the standard registration fee.
Young Bulls
Full registration + DNA by 60 days after birth*
* Full refund on submission of BCMS confirmation that the bull
has died, or veterinary certificate confirming infertility
or any other reason for the bull not being suitable to work,
prior to serving any female.
** The Society recommends that breeders and / or purchasers
have a veterinary inspection confirming overall health, testicular
and semen quality, and absence of genetic defects.
It will be a requirement to have a certificate confirming **
above before bulls can be collected for AI or used in ET
The sale of provisionally registered bulls creates a disproportionate
amount of work when new members wish to register, or bulls
are sold back in to pedigree herds.
DNA genotyping is already a market feature of selling bull
semen.
The above policy will add to the value of Jersey cattle throughout
the country and, again, start to position the breed for exports. |
