Paragraph 5 Ultrasound scanning of sheep in a protection or surveillance zone

Subject to sub-paragraph (2), no person is permitted to carry out ultrasound scanning of sheep in a protection zone or surveillance zone except under the authority of a licence granted by an inspector.

The prohibition in sub-paragraph (1) does not apply to the occupier of any premises or his or her employees (other than any person employed by him primarily for the purpose of carrying out ultrasound scanning of sheep) in respect of the carrying out of ultrasound scanning of sheep kept on those premises using ultrasound scanning equipment of which the occupier is the owner or person in charge.
