In the rest of the country, in order to sample and monitor all of the herds that have left the surveillance zone, movement restrictions have been placed on cattle due to be sent to winter accomodation, with effect from 11 August. In compliance with the sanitary measures, the only movements currently authorised are to the abattoir, for immediate slaughter.
