Movement Restrictions in FMD
|
|
It is usual, but not universal, that the boundary of the Surveillance
Zone follows natural or man-made features. This has the advantage that
the zone can be legally defined and is easier to monitor and observe on
the ground.
The following restrictions apply within the Surveillance Zone:
• movement of animals only permitted under licence
• only movement of animals directly to slaughter within the Surveillance Zone usually
permitted
• ban on markets and shows
• census of susceptible animals carried out.
Measures remain in force until at least 30 days after slaughter and initial
cleaning and disinfection on the IP.
