Livestock movement

Whenever livestock animals are moved around or into North Somerset it must be recorded by law.

The movement of any cattle, sheep, pigs or deer must be noted and recorded on the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affair's (DEFRA) central AMLS database.

Once the animals have arrived at their destination an AML1 form must be sent to us within three days to notify us of movements involving sheep and goats or an AML2 form for pigs.

We can send both forms out to you on request and can also provide free livestock movement books which record their veterinary, medicine and breeding records.

Once animals have been moved they cannot be moved again for a set period of six days for cattle, sheep and goats and 20 days for pigs.

For more information or to request a form or booklet contact our Trading Standards team or visit the DEFRA or North Somerset Trading Standards website.
