Veterinarian may administer the treatment. All medications that are administered shall be
done according to the label instructions of the medication used.
7. My animal’s appearance or performance shall not be altered by any means, including

10. By my entering an animal in this fair or exhibition, I am giving consent to the manage-
ment of the fair or exhibition to obtain any specimens of urine, saliva, blood, or other
substances from the animal to be used in testing. If the laboratory report on the analysis
of any sample indicates a presence of forbidden drugs, this shall be evidence such sub-
stance has been administered to the animal either internally or externally. It is presumed
that the sample tested by the laboratory to which it is sent is the one taken from the ani-
mal in question, its integrity is preserved and all procedures of said collection and preser-
vation, transfer to the laboratory and analysis of the sample are correct and accurate and
the report received from the laboratory pertains to the sample taken from the animal in
question and correctly reflects the condition of the animal at the time the sample was tak-
en, with the burden on the exhibitor, parent and/or guardian to prove otherwise.
11. I am responsible for my exhibit and I will not allow others to violate this Code on my
behalf. By my entering an exhibit in this fair or exhibition I will accept any disciplinary
action taken by the management of this fair or exhibition for any violation of this code of
ethics and any other rules of competition of the fair or exhibition without recourse against
the fair or exhibition.
12. I want my exhibit to be an example of how to accept what life has to offer, both good
and not so good, and how to live with and learn from the outcome.
13. I will not be involved in any illegal activities while participating in 4-H and FFA events,
including but not limited to alcohol, tobacco or drug use.

that disciplinary actions will result if these rules are violated. I understand that I am
expected to represent the program in a positive manner. I have read, understand and agree to
follow this Code of Ethics, and any other rules of competition of the fair or exhibition as
printed in its premium book.
