Certain licensing requirements for movement of animals are still in operation under the post foot and mouth movement regime.

The latest information on licensing requirements should be sought by contacting us or from the DEFRA (Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) website.

Cattle
The BCMS must be informed of cattle movements within 3 days. Any movement of livestock, other than pigs, on to a farm will  invoke a 6-day standstill on further movements off that premise (except to slaughter and certain movements of breeding animals). When pigs are moved on to a farm, it invokes a 6 day standstill for cattle, sheep and goats, but a 20 day standstill for pigs.
