As of today (July 1st) the restriction zone for bluetongue has been extended to cover all of England , meaning you can move animals within England without a specific license or pre movement testing.

Livestock moves to live from the England restriction zone to Scotland or wales

📌 livestock keepers planning to move animals to live from England to Scotland or wales must follow the guidelines below 👇

• A specific moment license and a valid pre movement test (test valid for 7 days after sample collection)
• Been fully vaccinated with Bultavo-3 vaccine (for cattle only)
• no clinical signs
Vaccinated cattle must have completed treatment with both doses of Bultavo-3 vaccine and 21 days elapsed since the second dose was administered.

Bluetongue testing for movements to Scotland or wales from England will be at keepers expense and must be privately arranged.

There is also a movement checker tool which you can use to find out correct advice and licensing requirements for moving animals within England.

This is linked at the bottom of the post.

Please see the link below for more in depth information reguarding recent bluetongue developments ⬇️
