Brucellosis (Scotland) Regulations 2000 (S.S.I. No. 364 of 2000). Country/Territory United Kingdom Territorial subdivision Scotland Document type Regulation Date 2000 Source FAO, FAOLEX Subject Livestock, Food & nutrition Keyword Food quality control/food safety Milk/dairy products Animal health Pests/diseases Data collection/reporting Geographical area Atlantic Ocean Islands, Europe, Europe and Central Asia, North Atlantic, North Sea, North-East Atlantic, Northern Europe Entry into force notes These Regulations will come into force on 1 November 2000. Abstract The Directives here implemented require the operation of a monitoring and testing programme to maintain the brucellosis free status of Great Britain under Council Directive 64/432/EC. Regulations 4, 5 and 6 deal with restrictions on vaccination and treatment of diseased animals as well as controls on movement of diseased animals. The principal changes made by these Regulations relate to the arrangements for testing milk for evidence of brucellosis and the removal of the list of approved laboratories. Regulation 7(1) sets out the duties of those who buy milk in Scotland for resale to ensure that milk is sent for testing to an approved laboratory. The person in charge of an approved laboratory must notify the Scottish Ministers if the result of any test for brucellosis is positive within 24 hours and if the result is negative within one month. That person must maintain records of all the tests carried out for a period of one year (reg. 7(5)). Veterinary inspectors can require testing of animals for brucellosis (reg. 8). Owners of bovine animals are required to notify abortions or premature calving (reg. 10). Regulations 11 to 17 provide for measures to control the spread of any brucellosis infection. Diseased animals can be slaughtered at the request of the Scottish Ministers (regs. 18 to 21).
