PART 3

BVD Control

Restrictions on the movement of bovine animals onto a holding with a BVD positive animal
34
1
The keeper must not move (or arrange to move) any bovine animal onto a holding where a bovine animal with an individual BVD status of positive is present and has been kept on the holding for a period of more than 40 days, unless the movement is under a licence granted by a veterinary inspector or the Scottish Ministers.
2
In calculating the period a bovine animal has been kept on the holding for the purposes of paragraph (1), any period during which the keeper does not know (and could not reasonably be expected to know) that the bovine animal has an individual BVD status of positive, or that the bovine animal is present on the holding, is to be disregarded.
