This Act provides for control of the slaughter of cattle and for matters incidental thereto and connected therewith. The Act is made of two Parts: the first Part applies in such areas of Malawi and to such types or classes of cattle as the Minister may, from time to time, by notice specify; the second Part shall apply throughout Malawi. The first Part of the Act covers the grounds, authority and prohibition for slaughtering immature or female cattle. The second Part describes the power of entry that any Inspector shall have with regard to any land or premises where cattle are kept for slaughter or offered for sale. This Part also describes the order forbidding slaughter that an inspector has when he is of the opinion that the slaughter of any immature or female cattle in an area to which Part I has not been applied.
