     It shall be the duty of each person using restricted tests to
     report in writing the results of restricted tests to the
     department. Each report shall be signed by the person who

     location where such test was conducted, a description and
     definitive permanent identification of the domestic animal or
     domestic animals tested and a complete statement of the actual
