Answer 137

ensure that those kept animals are identified individually by a physical means of identification, when they are moved between Member States, are issued with an identification document (correctly written and that follow the animals in all their movements); transmit the information on movements of those kept animals from and to the establishment concerned, and all births and deaths in that establishment

Answer 138

Operators producing, processing or storing germinal products shall mark germinal products of kept animals have to leave clearly trace of the donor animals, date of collection, establishments where they were collected, produced, processed and stored.

Answer 139

Movements possible if not affected by listed diseases referred to in point (d) of Article 9(1) or emerging diseases.

Answer 141

if the animals fulfil the following conditions: no disease symptoms, come from a registered or approved establishment with no abnormal mortalities with an undetermined cause or is not subject to movement restrictions affecting the species, which is not situated in a restricted zone.

Answer 142

if the animals fulfil the following conditions: They have not been in contact with kept terrestrial animals which are subject to movement restriction or kept terrestrial animals of a listed species of a lower health status, for an adequate period of time prior to the date of the intended movement to another Member State, thereby minimising the possibility of spreading disease

Answer 143

Operators shall not move kept terrestrial animals intended to be slaughtered for disease eradication purposes as part of an eradication programm to another Member State unless the Member State of destination and, where relevant, the Member State of passage authorise the movement in advance.

Answer 144

if the animals in question fulfil the following conditions as regards the listed diseases art9 letter d): no clinical signs, subject to a residency period appropriate, no ungulates have been introduced into the establishment for a period of time appropriate, they are presumed not to pose a significant risk of spreading considering health status, results of laboratory, application of vaccination or other disease prevention or risk-mitigation measures

Answer 152

Farming activities are covered by five directives (2 of them for cows) which impose minimum standards while the transport and the killing of animals are covered by regulations which set up similar requirements for all Member States

Answer 153

contains very general requirements (staff, record keeping, freedom of movement, accommodation, equipment, feed and water, mutilations and breeding procedures)

Answer 154

The requirements focus on accommodation standards, in particular by introducing group housing for calves older than eight weeks of age; e directive forbids keeping calves in permanent darkness and tethering. It also requires a balanced diet adapted to the needs of the calves by providing progressively fibrous food and sufficient iron. Muzzling is also forbidden.
