IMPLEMENTATION OF FOOD CHAIN INFORMATION FOR CATTLE, SHEEP AND GOATS
|  | |
From 1st January 2010, ALL cattle and sheep moving to slaughter, either direct or through a livestock market, must move with a farmer signed FCI declaration, declaring that the animals are free from disease and residues from veterinary medicines that may have been administered to them, as part of the implementation of the Food Chain Information regulations.

It is most important that you fill in and sign the declarations every time you send animals into an abattoir. If the animals arrive without the signed declaration, they will not be accepted by the Meat Hygiene Inspectors, their processing will be delayed, or in the worst case scenario, they could be "binned". Faxed and emailed copies after arrival will be allowed, but will cause delays and delivery of the FCI declaration with the animals is the best course of action.
