Article 10 Post-movement testing
Where a bovine animal is moved to premises in Scotland (in this article “the receiving premises”) from premises in a high incidence area, the keeper of the bovine animal must ensure that a diagnostic test for tuberculosis is applied to it no fewer than 60 days and no more than 120 days after the date on which it first arrives at the receiving premises.
Unless paragraph (3) applies, the keeper of a bovine animal must not allow the animal to be moved from the receiving premises unless a diagnostic test has been applied to it in accordance with paragraph (1) and the results of the test as read by an inspector or approved veterinary surgeon are negative for tuberculosis.
This paragraph applies where the bovine animal is moved—
directly to slaughter within 120 days of the animal’s first arrival at the receiving premises,
solely for the purpose of veterinary treatment, provided that after the treatment the animal is returned directly to the receiving premises or is killed or goes directly to slaughter, or
under the authority of a movement licence issued by a veterinary inspector.
