If an animal is not intended for food production, certain medicinal products may be used in its treatment that are not approved for food-producing animals. This broadens the therapeutic spectrum and allows for additional, medically appropriate treatment options to be used.
By signing this declaration, I confirm that my rabbit is not intended for food production and will not be used for food production by me. I am aware that using the rabbit for the production of food constitutes a violation of the Food and Consumer Goods Act and may be prosecuted as a criminal offense.
(Based on the letter of the Federal Ministry of Health dated 17 February 1995 (Ref. No. 425-7210) regarding the animal owner’s declaration for horses.)
In the event that the rabbit is sold or transferred, I undertake to inform the new owner of this declaration, in particular of the fact that, for medicinal and food-law reasons, the rabbit may not be used for food production.
This declaration is valid indefinitely.
