Cambridgeshire Trading Standards Service is responsible for the enforcement of a wide range of legislation relating to agricultural holdings and the keeping of livestock. This work covers the following areas:
- Animal disease such as Avian Influenza, Foot and Mouth and Rabies
- Animal Welfare Act as it applies to farm animals
- Identification, movement and record keeping
- Transportation of animals
- Disposal of dead animals and other animal by-products
- Animal feed
- Food Hygiene at primary producers
We use a number of methods to deliver our duties including visits to farms and abattoirs, checking farm records by postal recall, reacting to complaints and inspecting livestock vehicles in transit. Much of the work is proactive, working with the farming community to provide advice and education.
