Current through Register Vol. 64, No. 1, January 1, 2025

Section 635-049-0075 - Genetic Requirements

Any person holding cervids must comply with the following genetics management requirements:

(1) The holder must inform the Department in advance of any in vitro fertilization or artificial insemination of captive cervids;

(2) Upon demand by the Department, the holder must verify that a cervid born from in vitro fertilization or artificial insemination is of a species or subspecies authorized by the holder's license.

(3) The Department may, at its discretion and expense, subject any captive cervids to genetic analysis;

(4) If the Department determines that an unauthorized cervid exists at a cervid holding facility, the holder must have all cervids in the facility genetically tested as directed by the Department and at the holder's expense. An "unauthorized cervid" is one which was not listed in the holder's annual report for the previous year or one of a species or subspecies (or a hybrid of a species) which is not authorized by the holder's license.

(5) If the Department determines that a holder is holding any unauthorized cervids, the holder must kill or otherwise legally dispose of those cervids within 30 days of the Department's determination. The Department bears no liability for such a determination. "Otherwise legally dispose" means to legally export from Oregon or transfer to a licensed Oregon facility that is authorized to hold such cervids.
