Most of this is para-veterinary professional work. Those functions include implementation of parasite control programmes in animals, carrying out of certain procedures, execution of certain services, et cetera . The Bill does not authorise para-veterinary personnel to go ahead and practice veterinary medicine or do what a veterinary surgeon would do."}
