Tuberculosis (England) (Amendment) Order 2016 (S.I. No. 347 of 2016).

This Order amends the Tuberculosis (Wales) Order so as to: inserts a new article 9A requiring keepers who receive bovine animals into the tuberculosis low risk area (an area of English counties specified by the Secretary of State) to arrange and pay for a post-movement skin test to be undertaken by an approved veterinary surgeon. The new article also sets out circumstances in which a post-movement test is not required; provide that a person must not move bovine animals which have undergone a relevant test for tuberculosis before the result of such test has been completed with negative results; refer to testing required annually rather than biennially as a result of changes to the different frequency of routine tuberculosis surveillance testing in England for certain bovine herds.
