Apply for a health certificate for the trade in breeding and productive cattle
You require an official veterinary health certificate to trade in breeding cattle and/or livestock or to attend an exhibition or similar event with breeding cattle and/or livestock.
The health certificates are proof for individual animals that they are free of a disease. The aim is to maintain the freedom from a disease on a holding, in a region or in a Member State. The certificate proves that your herd of breeding and production cattle is free from certain diseases. As a rule, this is freedom from tuberculosis, brucellosis and leukosis, possibly also bluetongue and infections with the bovine herpes virus.
Strict measures must be observed when moving animals. Disease monitoring and prevention is an essential part of the process to maintain disease-free status and ensure that trade is not jeopardized. Disease-free status must be reviewed regularly
