Livestock health and welfare

We are responsible for enforcing the laws covering the welfare and transportation of livestock in North Somerset.

This includes animals sold or displayed at auction, livestock movement and relates to the control of notifiable animal diseases in farm animals such as cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and poultry.

Some of the diseases this covers include the following:

  • Anthrax
  • Foot and mouth
  • Rabies
  • Avian flu

However, our service does not cover diseases suffered by normal household pets.
