TRANSPORTATION OF STOCK 14) WELFARE OF ANIMALS DURING TRANSPORT REGULATION (EC) No 1/2005

From 5th January 2007, a new Regulation on the protection of animals during transport applies across the European Union (EU), with some elements coming into force later in 2008 and 2009. This replaces European Directive 91/628. The Welfare of Animals (Transport) Order 1997 (WATO) and its equivalent in N.Ireland, which implemented the Directive, have been revoked by The Welfare of Animals (Transport) (England) Order 2006 and paralleled legislation in Scotland, Wales and N.Ireland. These implement the EU Regulation in the UK. The East of England Agricultural Society would like to stress the following good transport practice:

The Journey is properly planned and time is kept to a minimum and the animals are checked and their needs met during the journey

The animals are fit to travel

Those handling animals are trained or competent in the task and do not use violence or any methods likely to cause unnecessary fear, injury or suffering.

Water, feed and rest are given to the animals as needed and sufficient floor space and height is allowed. 15) No animals are to be left on vehicles overnight IDENTIFICATION AND PASSPORTS 16) Cattle entered in the show may be inspected and marked should the committee so desire 17) PASSPORTS: Passports are required for all bovines born on or after 1 July 1996. The passport must accompany the

animals and remain on the Showground for the duration of the animal’s attendance. The movement to and from the Show should be entered on the passport. The passport should be completed in the usual way for any other movements of the animals. A continuation passport should be applied for in good time before or during the Show season. All passports must be given to Stewards based in the Livestock office on arrival. All ear tags will be checked prior to entry to the show.

18) All sheep exhibitors must produce a completed AML1 form on arrival and departure from the showground 19) SHOWGROUND HOLDING NUMBER: 05/350/8000

GENERAL CATTLE 20) All stock remains the responsibility of the exhibitor whilst on the Showground and must be attended at all times 21) Cattle must have proper halters when on the Showground and be properly tethered 22) All cattle must be halter trained and lead, in both the show and sale rings 23) All Bulls/bull calves must have a nose ring and all entries must be either double-haltered in their stalls or pens, or

secured with a strong halter and a neck band 24) All cattle must be entered in the Herd Books or supplementary register of their respective breeds
