Biosecurity Rules for Livestock Agents

6. Biosecurity Measures at Farm of Origin before movement to an Auction

 

(a) Biosecurity at auctions cannot be 100% fool-proof and the risk of spread of disease needs to be reduced through biosecurity and disease surveillance on the farms of origin of the animals destined for sale.

 

(b) All animals moved to an auction facility must be accompanied by an Original Animal Owner Health Attestation.

 

(c) Livestock agents must ensure that an Original Animal Health Attestation accompanies ALL livestock BEFORE animals can be moved to the auction facilities.

 

(d) Only animals that comply with the Original Animal Health Attestation may be offloaded at the auction facility’s biosecure area.
