Published verdict
Delete

The law looks obsolete, unjustified, or duplicative.

Summary

This ordinance centrally regulates animal breeding by requiring federal recognition of breeding organisations and private breeding firms, prescribing herdbook, performance-testing, genetic evaluation and accounting rules, limiting recognition where another organisation already exists for a breed, and distributing federal subsidies for breeding measures, Swiss breed preservation, research projects, the Swiss National Stud, marketing of breeding material, and certain imports under tariff quotas.

Verdict reason
This is a classic corporatist subsidy-and-permission regime: it ties breeding activity to federal recognition, detailed administrative rulebooks, published beneficiary lists and direct payments, while even restricting entry when an incumbent organisation exists. The ordinance socialises costs, entrenches approved organisations, and replaces voluntary market coordination in animal breeding with bureaucracy and cartel-friendly gatekeeping.
