ANTHRAX DECLARATIONS
There has been a recent outbreak of Anthrax in Wiltshire and as a result all stock consigned to
Markets in the UK require a Declaration stating that they have not come from holdings within the
50km Restriction Zone.
This Declaration is due to the export of skins, hides and fleeces to China. A Chain of Declaration has
now been set up from Producer, through Livestock Markets and Abattoirs to Salting Plants so that
all skins and hides can be declared not to have come from within the Anthrax Restriction Zone.
It is essential then that all slaughter cattle and sheep are accompanied by a signed Declaration
stating the origin of the animals and supported by cattle passports and sheep movement forms.
The Declaration Form is enclosed herewith. Further copies are available from the Auctioneers or
downloadable online at www.lodgeandthomas.co.uk.
