Article 11A Biosecurity requirements noticeF1F3
England and Wales
A keeper of a bovine animal must take such steps as are reasonable in all the circumstances to ensure that biosecurity measures in relation to those premises where the animal is kept are in place to the extent required by good practice.
A veterinary inspector may serve a notice F2(a “biosecurity requirements notice”) (“hysbysiad gofynion bioddiogelwch”) on the keeper of a bovine animal which—
states that the veterinary inspector is of the opinion that biosecurity measures in relation to those premises where the animal is kept are failing to comply with good practice;
specifies the respects in which the veterinary inspector considers the keeper is failing to comply with good practice;
specifies the steps the veterinary inspector considers need to be taken in order to comply with good practice; and
specifies a period for the taking of those steps.
The Welsh Ministers may issue guidance on good practice in biosecurity to assist keepers of bovine animals.
