Foreword
The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Food Supply has successfully endeavored
to have animal health care addressed in a coordinated manner by the different govern-
ment levels. To this end it has sponsored a series of legislative pieces on the preparation
of animal health programs. The series consists of administrative rules and normative and
services instructions that regulate the programs, so as to ensure comprehensive attention
to animal health. These rules and norms have been drawn with wide participation of
representatives of professional institutions and of users involved with the issue.
As the major tool for carrying out initiatives in the field of Animal Health, the Na-
tional Agricultural and Livestock Health and Inspection Policy seeks to establish guide-
lines and define institutional responsibilities for creating the conditions for the protec-
tion of the national herd, as well as preventing harm to public health. This Manual puts
together the major legislative pieces that govern this process, issued between 1934 and
2008. The full text of each edition of the Manual is available in digital format on MAPA’s
web site. It will be continuously updated as new legislation is enacted.
We trust that this Manual will be used by Brazil’s Official Agricultural and Livestock
Health and Inspection Services as a valuable source of information and knowledge.
