Keepers are responsible for ensuring that equines have the relevant identification documents issued within 12 months from the date of birth of the animal. In this context, it might be noted that keepers are required to submit a completed application for an equine to an appropriate PIO within 6 months from the date of the equine's birth. The CPBS would like to encourage our breeders to apply for their DNA as soon as possible in order to help avoid delays. Thank you
