DEFRA’s movement changes welcomed


FARMERS in the Ribble Valley have welcomed the major changes made to the livestock movement restrictions still in place after foot and mouth. DEFRA has announced that sheep


and cattle for breeding this season which go into isolation for 20 days on arrival on the farm will not trigger a 20-day standstill on the rest of the


farm. The announcement follows an


intense series of one-to-one meetings between NFU president Mr Ben Gill and ministers Lord Whitty and Elliot


Morley. Mr Gill said it was vital that all

farmers now stuck by the new rules. "If we can make this work, it will make further rationalisation of the restric­ tions later this year easier toachieve. Otherwise, we risk having further reg-


border controls to stop disease enter­ ing the country in the first place, hut farmers agree that there needs to he a system to minimise disease spreading should these controls fail, he said. NFU county chairman Mr Jim Bir-


kett said that a week ago, it looked as if the 20-day standstill rule was going to stay with limited exemptions. After intense NFU negotiations, farmers were now in a more favourable posi­ tion, hut needed to see the detailed rules on isolation facilities. "While the exemptions do not go as far as we want, they are crucial for counties such as Lancashire which rely on the sale of a large number of breeding sheep and cattle in the autumn. The exemptions at least enable breeding sales to go ahead." Mr Birkett added that work had to continue to remove the 20-day rule and allow the livestock industry to get back on its feet.


"These are the first in the UK, and a first for Dot. Com. I am always looking for innovative products, hut the big suppliers normally get there first; happily not this time." A world-first instru
