Animal Health Service

Animal Health's primary function is to prevent the spread of disease and unnecessary suffering of farm animals.

We do this by advising on animal health matters, and by monitoring and enforcing of animal health legislation.

We also:

• enforce standards and advise on the quality and composition of feedstuffs given to food producing animals. If you wish to register as a feed business please complete and submit a Feed registration form
  
  
• enforce laws relating to disease control
  
  
• enforce movements of livestock

See below for more links to more detailed advice/information from our partners such as the Trading Standards Institute, Department for Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs (Defra), and the Animal and Plant Health Agency.
