Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council

Is there still a 20 day standstill requirement for animals?

The 20 day standstill now only applies to pig movements.

Pigs trigger a 20 day standstill on other pigs when they move onto a premise. However they only trigger a 6 day standstill on any Cattle, Sheep or Goats on that premise. Cattle, Sheep or Goats moving onto premises will impose a 6 day standstill on any pigs on that premise.

There are exemptions to the 6 day standstill for Cattle, Sheep and Goats, and the 20 day standstill for pigs.
