Alert

There is currently no regulatory requirement under Part XV of the Health of Animals Regulations for the identification of caprine or cervid species. Proposed amendments to those Regulations would introduce a requirement for the identification of caprine and cervid species.

The indicators listed here for caprine and cervid would be approved for caprine and cervid under the proposed amendments to Part XV of the Health of Animals Regulations.
