§ Mr. LuffTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will allow Mr. Andrew Morris of Eatons Farm, Tibberton, to sell calves under 42 days of age from that farm. [180355]
§ Mr. BradshawWhen a herd is under movement restrictions, movements of cattle from the premises (except direct to slaughter) will only be licensed where a pre-movement isolation unit has been agreed with the Divisional Veterinary Manager, and all the isolated cattle have tested clear twice at 60-day intervals from the date of isolation. Testing of the isolated calves must take place at the same time as the rest of the herd (that is, although the isolated calves can be treated as a separate epidemiological unit, the whole herd including the adult animals needs to be fully up-to-date with its testing before any movements will be permitted).
