British Cattle Veterinary Association

The new revised "Guidance for Veterinary Surgeons on Emergency Slaughter of Cattle" is now available to download here.

Hard copies are also available at the cost of £5. You can order them from our online shop or by contacting the office.

Produced in collaboration with the FSA, MHS, and Rural Afairs Departments the updated guidance takes account of changes in legislation since the previous notes. New model declarations regarding Food Chain Information are included in the appendices of the guide which aims to aid veterinary surgeons in the decision making process as to whether an animal may be considered fit for emergency slaughter.
