39 IMPORTANT CHANGES FOR CATTLE EXHIBITORS DUE TO TB REGULATIONS This year we have changed our procedures to accommodate the rules following last year s changes to the TB ruling in regards to cattle coming from a four-yearly testing to a one-yearly testing area. We are holding the majority of judging of cattle on Saturday 12 May to allow cattle from the four-yearly testing areas to remain on the Showground for less than 24hrs. This will negate any cattle from the 4-yearly testing area requiring a post movement TB test and quarantine on their return to their home farm (assuming of course they move directly back e.g. not moved to/held at a different holding in the Edge Area before returning home). DEFRA spokesperson. We are holding a limited number of classes on Sunday 13 May for the cattle who have come from a one-yearly testing area or for those who are prepared to have a post movement test and quarantine their cattle on return to their home farm immediately after the show. Cattle from a four-yearly testing area will be housed in an open-sided marquee situated opposite the George Stephenson Exhibition Hall. One-yearly testing cattle will be housed in marquee opposite the George Stephenson Exhibition Hall with the judging rings separating the cattle. Four- yearly testing cattle will be able to arrive on site from 5pm on Friday 11 May and must have departed the showground before 5pm Saturday 12 May in order to be exempt from a post movement test and quarantine controls. Weighing of Commercial Cattle from the one-yearly testing area will held on Friday 11 May from 3pm to 5pm. Weighing of Commercial Cattle from the four-yearly testing area will be held on Friday 11 May from 5pm to 7pm. Judging will commence at 8:00am on Saturday 12 May and on Sunday 13 May it will commence at 9:00am. There will be a Grand Parade of Cattle in the Cattle judging Rings at 3:45pm on Saturday 12 May and also The Parade of Livestock in the Cattle judging Rings on Sunday 13 May at 3:45pm. 37

CATTLE HEALTH & WELFARE Tuberculosis and Brucellosis Orders At the date of entry and at the Show, cattle must be from herds which are free from restrictions imposed under: (A) The Tuberculosis Order (B) The Brucellosis Orders. Additionally, entered animals must not themselves be under individual restrictions. An animal entered for this Show must not be consigned to the Show if, after entry, either it, or the herd to which it belongs, becomes subject to Movement Restrictions. IBR and Leptospira Hardjo Health status protection cannot be guaranteed for cattle coming from IBR or Leptospira Hardjo herds (elite or monitored) and exhibitors should refer to the Cattle Health 2002 Scheme. Cattle Calving and Abortions on the Showground Animals calving prematurely or showing signs of aborting (e.g. abnormal discharge) must immediately be placed in temporary isolation without moving the animal concerned. This temporary isolation must be provided by the use of straw bales, ropes, notices etc. and a responsible stockperson must be in attendance pending further action by the Show s Veterinary Officer. If an animal calves or aborts before it can be isolated then full precautions must be taken to isolate and disinfect any possibly contaminated standings, bedding, utensils, vehicles etc. On no account must the animal concerned, nor any material from it, be removed from the stall without the authority of the Show s Veterinary Officer. It is essential that no personnel or other animals have contact with any animal that has aborted or shows signs of aborting. The Show s Veterinary Officer must be notified immediately and he, in turn, will notify the Divisional Veterinary Manager. An isolation notice will be served on the owner or person in charge of the animal and a full range of samples obtained. The animal under investigation will remain in isolation whilst on the Showground. Arrangements will be made for any animal subject to an abortion/premature calving enquiry, and for other animals at the Show originating from the same herd, to be returned to the premises of origin as soon as possible. The owner, or his representative, will be responsible for the removal of such animals from the Showground. The suspect animal must be isolated during transit. An animal calving or showing signs of calving at full term must be placed in isolation. Where an animal calves at full term and the owner arranges for a blood sample (Rose Bengal Plate Test - RBPT) and microscopic examination of a vaginal smear and the results are negative then the animal may leave isolation and, at the discretion of the Society, may return to the cattle lines.
