Abstract

These Regulations amend the Cattle Identification Regulations 2007: to add a new automated telephony system to the list of methods by which keepers may register animals with the Secretary of State; to remove the need for the occupiers of slaughterhouses to enter certain details into the passports of animals they have slaughtered; make provision to allow keepers to report animal movements by using the new automated telephony system as a method of notification and also to report animal deaths using electronic methods as well as paper, except in the case of animals slaughtered outside a slaughterhouse that are sent to a slaughterhouse for dressing. An animal’s passport must be returned to the Secretary of State within seven days of the death unless it has been retained by an inspector.
