Bluetongue restrictions for the transport of calves relaxed in Belgium, Netherlands and Germany

Starting from November 2nd, veterinarians are no longer required to sign the declaration for animals to be slaughtered if no signs of bluetongue have been observed in the past 30 days. Only the signature of the livestock farmer is now necessary. The new guidelines can be found in the protocol 'BT-07 transport ruminants', which covers the movement of various animals to different countries.
