What are the movement restrictions and why are they in place?
A National (GB) movement ban has been introduced on the movement of all susceptible animals. This list of susceptible species includes cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, deer, rodents (other than pets) as well as camels, llamas, guanaco, vicuna and elephants. (The ban does not cover horses, poultry, cats or dogs.) All activities involving animals moving on or off livestock premises, or activities that involve contractors working on multiple farms (e.g. contract shearers or dippers) are affected by the ban. Limited movements are permitted outside of surveillance and protection zones and are outlined below.
