Sec.  780.119  Employment in the specified operations generally.



    Employees are employed in the raising of livestock, bees, fur-

bearing animals or poultry only if their operations relate to animals of 

the type named and constitute the ``raising'' of such animals. If these 

two requirements are met, it makes no difference for what purpose the 

animals are raised or where the operations are performed. For example, 

the fact that cattle are raised to obtain serum or virus or that chicks 

are hatched in a commercial hatchery does not affect the status of the 

operations under section 3(f).
