Movement of animals
There are strict rules controlling the identification and
movements of livestock to try to prevent the spread of disease.
These rules apply even if you only keep one animal.
The most common animals whose movements must be licensed are sheep,
goats, pigs and cows.
The conditions which apply vary according to the type of animal,
the destination and the type of trip. It is important that you find
out what the latest conditions are when applying for a movement
licence, as they are altered regularly.
Visit the DEFRA website to find out more or contact us using the
