Bluetongue Update for Wales
18 June 2025
The exemptions to pre-movement testing have been extended from 12 June until 19 June. This is to allow livestock keepers sufficient time to prepare for the upcoming changes to our Bluetongue Control Policy in Wales.
From 20 June 2025 any susceptible animals (ruminants or camelids including cattle, sheep, goats, deer, llamas and alpacas) moving from a Bluetongue Restricted Zone to Wales to live will require a specific movement licence (on gov.uk), and valid pre-movement test at the keeper’s expense. If an animal is showing clinical signs on the day of transport they cannot move to Wales.
