Abstract

This Order amends the Tuberculosis (Wales) Order 2010 in provisions concerning inspections and testing , storage of a carcases that is affected with or suspected of being affected with tuberculosis, and enforcement notices. A new regulation (11A) introduces biosecurity improvement notices. A keeper of a bovine animal must ensure that biosecurity measures in relation to those premises where the animal is kept are in place to the extent required by good practice. A veterinary inspector may serve a “biosecurity improvement notice on the keeper of a bovine animal which— (a) states that biosecurity measures are failing to comply with good practice; (b) specifies the respects in which the veterinary inspector considers the keeper is failing to comply with good practice. The Welsh Ministers may issue guidance on good practice in biosecurity to assist keepers of bovine animals.”
