Animals

Controlled movement of animals through a rigorous regime of licensing is imperative if we are to prevent outbreaks of disease and reduce the impact of a potential pandemic.

The government's licencing arrangements for livestock whose movements must be controlled are sheep, pigs and cows.

At the local level, Kent's Trading Standards Service has responsibilities for farm animal welfare and for disease prevention on farms, during transportation and at markets across Kent.

Send a request for forms to authorise the controlled transportation of livestock. This link opens in a new window.
