  1. Good Transport Practice • The animals are fit to travel. • The vehicle and loading / unloading facilities are designed, constructed and maintained to avoid injury and suffering. • The journey is properly planned and time is kept to a minimum and the animals are checked and their needs met during the journey.

  2. Good Transport Practice • Those handling animals are trained or competent in the task and do not use violence or any methods likely to cause unnecessary fear injury and suffering. • Water feed and rest are given to animals as needed, and sufficient floorspace and height is allowed.

  3. Animals that cannot be transported • Unfit animals • Very young animals unless the journey is less than 100km e.g. calves of less than 10 days, pigs of less than 3 weeks and lambs of less than one week old. • Calves of less than 14 days if the journey is more than 8 hours. • Pregnant animals in the last stage e.g. gestation (within 10% of total gestation before birth) and within 1 week after giving birth.

  4. General requirements • No person shall transport animals or cause animals to be transported in such a way that is likely to cause injury or undue suffering to them. • Drivers or attendants responsible for the movement of farmed animals, horses and poultry over 65km are required to hold a certificate of competence.

  5. Cattle • All holdings must be registered with DEFRA and have a County Parish Holding CPH number before cattle are moved onto the holding. • All cattle must have a DEFRA approved ear tag in each ear within 20 days of birth (dairy cattle at least 1 tag within 36 hrs) • All cattle must be tagged before leaving holding of birth.

  6. Cattle • If you keep cattle you will need to maintain a herd register, recording the details of every birth, movement on and of the holding and deaths. • All cattle must have a passport • Any cattle movement of animals onto a holding will trigger a six day standstill in which no cattle, sheep, pigs or goats can leave the farm. You can apply for an exemption for animals attending a show.

  7. Pigs CPH required. All pigs going to slaughter must be identified with their DEFRA herdmark by ear tag, tattoo or slap mark, or if over 1 year moving to another farm. Under 1 year they can have a temporary paint mark

  10. Movements • When a pig moves onto your holding , no pig can move off for 20 days except for slaughter. (Cattle, sheep and goats 6 days). • At least once a year you must record the number of pigs you keep, all on and off movements with dates, identification marks numbers moved and the address of the holding moved to or from.
