and provide the location and proposed dates of the show. Keeper herd numbers for
Agricultural Shows must be obtained in advance from AIM Division, Administration

CODE OF PRACTICE – BIOSECURITY
Livestock Marts, Meat Plants, Showground’s, Co-operatives, Agricultural Premises
In general movement and mixing of animals presents the greatest risk of the spread of
most animal diseases. For that reason the operators of marts, meat plants, livestock
shows etc., have a key role to play in ensuring that the disease risks associated with their
premises and operations are kept to a minimum. Specific legal requirements apply in
relation to bio-security arrangements. Adherence to these bio-security arrangements
and the guidelines outlined below can have a significant impact on reducing the
opportunities for disease transmission.
Acceptance of animals
• All keepers must be registered appropriately if presenting animals (cattle,
sheep, goats, pigs, horses and poultry).
• Under no circumstances should animals that are identified improperly or
documented improperly be accepted.
17Cleaning / disinfection
• All areas where animals will be located should be clean and contamination free
prior to introducing animals for show purposes.
• All areas where show animals are congregated, held or have been in contact
should be washed down thoroughly and disinfected with an approved
disinfectant at the end of each day at a minimum.
• Keep drinking/feeding troughs clean and free of animal waste or other
contaminants.
• Cleaning and disinfection facilities should be available on site for all transport
vehicles delivering/collecting animals. Shows should enforce the use of these
cleaning and disinfection facilities at all times.
• Ensure that clients, when visiting the premises, wear waterproof footwear (e.g.
wellington boots) that can be cleaned and disinfected easily.
• Provide foot-baths with suitable approved disinfectant at appropriate locations
on the premises.
• Provide facilities for hand washing with liquid soap and for washing down
footwear.
• Provide signs on premises reminding people of the need to minimise the risks
of disease transmission and the availability on-site of washing facilities for
vehicles and persons.
Identification, documentation and record keeping
• Retain a record of the registration number of each vehicle delivering/collecting
each consignment of animals.
• Maintain a register, in readily accessible form, of all vendors/buyers, including
numbers and types of animals involved in each transaction.
• Ensure compliance with all requirements in relation to record keeping and
retention of records.
• Forward completed Certificates of Compliance in respect of bovines and Sheep
or Goat Dispatch Documents to the local District Veterinary Office to ensure
that the cattle, sheep and goat movement details are recorded on the Animal
Identification and Movement (AIM) database within 7 days of the Show.
Suspicious/unusual transactions or movements
• Report any suspicious or unusual transactions or movements involving livestock
to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine or the Garda Siochana
(such information can be provided on a strictly confidential basis).
18SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS - CATTLE

the previous twelve months – this test must be recorded on the Department’s
Animal Health Computer System (AHCS). No pre-movement test is required for T.B.
However, it is recommended by the Department that a 30-day pre-movement test for
TB should apply to all Shows.
Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD)
All bovine animals which were born since 01/01/2013 must have a negative BVD
status for BVD virus (not antibody) when moving, including to shows, within the state.
With regard to animals entering the state from abroad including Northern Ireland, it
is recommended that these are tested for virus and evidence of this provided to the
show organiser. Some animals from NI may have been tested in the voluntary phase
of the programme there. It is possible for a declaration of such negative results to be
generated from the NI database and provided to the show organiser.
Identification
All cattle must bear two plastic tags with the same number (one in each ear) as issued
under the Department’s identification system. Each animal must be accompanied by
its passport.
Bulls for A.I. Stations
In addition to the T.B. test, bulls destined for A.I. stations must be tested for
Brucellosis I.B.R. (Infectious Bovine Rhynotracheitis), E.B.L. (Enzootic Bovine Leukosis)
and B.V.D. (Bovine Virus Diarrhoea) within 30 days prior to movement into such
stations.
AIM Notification
The movement of cattle to and from an Agricultural Show within the State must
be recorded on AIM. Keepers who plan to move animals to a Show must obtain a
Certificate of Compliance prior to the movement of animals. No destination should
be nominated when the keeper is applying for a Certificate.
At the Show, the Movement Notification section of the Certificate should be
completed by the keeper and the Show Secretary who should clearly indicate the
Show Number on the form. The Show number must be recorded on the passport.
Ultimate responsibility for fulfilling these requirements, lie with the Show Secretary.
Completed forms should be sent by the Show Secretary to the local RVO within 7
days of the Show.
Imports from Northern Ireland
It is very important that any proposal to import cattle to a show is made known to the
19local District Veterinary Office well in advance so that consideration can be given to
compliance with the requirements outlined below.
Premises
The Show premises at which the cattle will reside for the duration of their stay
must either be an assembly centre approved for exports or of such a standard as
being capable of being approved for such a purpose temporarily. A fundamental
requirement for such premises is that they have surfaces that are capable of being
cleaned and disinfected, and have adequate cleaning and disinfection facilities.
Adequate segregation facilities may be required also (see under “Status of Animals”
below).
Status of Animals
Cattle from Northern Ireland being moved to a show must be certified in accordance
with the normal requirements for intra-community trade in breeding animals
including having passed a TB test (export interpretation) during the 30 days prior to
export.
To comply with eligibility requirements for re-importation into Northern Ireland after
the show, cattle must not mix with any cattle of a lesser health status whilst at the
show. This can be achieved in one of two ways: (i) either the imported animals are
kept segregated fully from other cattle at the show which have not been tested, or
(ii) all cattle attending the show must have been TB (export interpretation) within 30
days.
Documentation
Cattle imported to a show from Northern Ireland must be accompanied by an original
breeding animal intra-trade health certificate (known as a TRACES certificate) and
a passport for each animal. A TRACES message, corresponding with the TRACES
certificate, will be sent for each animal or consignment being dispatched to the show
(this will be performed by officials in the dispatching country). For the return journey,
this original certificate must be endorsed by the signature of the official veterinarian
of the Department at the show, together with the official stamp of the competent
authority and date of endorsement. A TRACES message will be sent for the return
journey also (this will be performed by Department officials attending the show).
In addition, a non-comminglement certificate must be issued by the official
veterinarian for the show at or before return, stating that the animal shows no clinical
signs of disease and has not been in contact, during its stay at the show/event, with
animals of a lesser health status. The passport must accompany the animal on the
return journey also.
The Show Secretary should complete a CMMS 5 form in respect of animals imported
to take part in the Show. The owner of the imported animal(s) is required to sign
the form also when the animal arrives at the Show and provide his/her herd number.
20Following the Show, the official veterinarian should complete the bottom portion of
the CMMS 5 form also confirming that he has stamped the official Health Certificate
and that he has issued a Non-Comminglement Certificate.
The completed CMMS 5 form (available from local RVOs or from the Cattle
Movement Notification Agency, Clonakilty, Co Cork) should then be forwarded to
AIM Division, Administration Building, Backweston Campus, Backweston, Celbridge,
Co Kildare to enable recording of the movement. A carbon copy of the form will be
provided for the Show Secretary, the official veterinarian and the herd keeper of the
animal(s).
Exports to Northern Ireland
Cattle moving from Ireland to a Show in Northern Ireland must be recorded on AIM.
When the intra-community-trade Certificate is being issued by the local RVO, they will
arrange to have the export movement for the animal(s) recorded onto AIM.
All cattle must be accompanied by an official TRACES intra-community-trade
certificate for bovine animals. A TRACES message, corresponding with the TRACES
certificate, will be sent for each animal or consignment being dispatched to the show
(this will be performed by Department officials in the RVO).
Cattle for Breeding and Production
Valid identity card/passport - all animals
Negative TB test (export interpretation) - all animals aged over
42 days within 30 days
prior to export
Negative BVD test - animals born on or
after January 1st 2013
Export of cattle to an agricultural show within the EU other than to Northern
Ireland
Agreement for the movement and immediate return of cattle to a Show in another
country or vice versa currently applies for movements between Ireland and Northern
Ireland only – it does not apply for movements to Great Britain or further afield.
21Requests for cattle from Ireland to attend shows in countries other than Northern
Ireland will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
Before the movement of cattle from Ireland to a Show in parts of the EU other than
to Northern Ireland takes place, it is imperative to establish that the Competent
Authority of the destination country has agreed to put in place the same system
for the processing of the documentation as applies to exports to Northern Ireland.
Therefore exhibitors who wish to show cattle at an EU Show other than in Northern
Ireland should contact the local RVO at least one month prior to the Show.
Where the export of cattle from Ireland is agreed with the destination country,
the movement of such cattle must be recorded on AIM. When the official intra-
community trade Certificate for bovine animals is being issued by the local RVO, they
will arrange to have the export movement of the animal(s) recorded onto AIM.
Following the show, the original Health Certificate is endorsed and stamped by the
official veterinarian at the Show and a non-Comminglement certificate will be issued
also.
When the animal returns to the home farm, the keeper presents these Certificates
to the RVO along with a completed CMMS 6 form (available at RVOs) stating that the
animal has returned from the show. The RVO can then record the import movement
back to the keeper’s holding on the AIM system.
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS – SHEEP
Identification
All sheep must be identified individually with appropriate ear tags issued in
accordance with the requirements of the National Sheep Identification System (NSIS).
Movement Documentation
All consignments of sheep being moved must be accompanied by a completed
dispatch document. Individual details of each sheep in the consignment must be
recorded on the document. Sheep from non-restricted flocks only can be moved
to shows. In the case of flocks restricted following diagnosis of scrapie, sheep
possessing the ARR/ARR genotype only may be exhibited1. The movement of these
ARR/ARR genotype sheep must be accompanied by the relevant movement permit
(SCR/10), which can be obtained from the District Veterinary Office responsible for
the county in which the flock is located.
1
ARR (Alanine, Arginine, Arginine) homozygous for alleles 136, 154 and 171 of the sheep’s prion protein.
22AIM Notification
The movement of sheep to and from an Agricultural Show within the State must be
recorded on AIM. This is done using a copy of the owners sheep dispatch document as
follows:
1. The owner/keeper presents the signed and completed dispatch document to the
show secretary who checks it to ensure that it is completed in full.
2. The show secretary fills in the MART section of the dispatch document with (i) the
show number, (ii) the date of the move back to the source holding (iii) stamps it with
the show stamp and (iv) signs the dispatch document.
3. The show secretary then forwards the completed pink section of the dispatch
document to the local RVO within 7 days of the show movement.
4. The show secretary keeps white copy for his/her records.
5. The source/destination keeper keeps the bottom yellow copy to enter it into their
flock register.
Ultimate responsibility for fulfilling this requirement lies with the Show Secretary.
Flock Register
All movements of sheep to and from shows must be recorded in the keeper’s flock
register.
Exports to Northern Ireland
All sheep must be accompanied by a TRACES intra-community trade certificate for ovine
animals. A TRACES message, corresponding with the TRACES certificate, will be sent for
each animal or consignment being dispatched to the show (this will be performed by
Department officials of the RVO). Exhibitors are advised to contact the show society in
Northern Ireland well in advance of any show to determine the suitability of the show for
return of animals (e.g. premises and sheep status), and whether the authorities will have
officials and veterinary staff present to supervise and process documentation for animals
returning to origin.
Agreement for the movement and immediate return of sheep to a Show in another
country or vice versa currently applies for movements between Ireland and Northern
Ireland only – it does not apply for movements to Great Britain or further afield.
Movements to shows other than Northern Ireland will be dealt with on a case-by-case
basis and you should contact your local District Veterinary Office at least one month prior
to the Show.
Attendance of sheep from scrapie monitored flocks at shows and sales in 2016
23Shows between 1st May and 31st October
Sheep from Scrapie Monitored Flocks2 will be permitted to attend Agricultural Shows
taking place between 1st May and 31st October, without restriction or separation from
other categories of sheep.
Shows outside of the 1st May and 31st October Period
For shows taking place before 1st May or after 31st October, sheep from Scrapie
Monitored or Probationary Flocks must be separated from other sheep as set down
below.
a) There must be complete separation of Monitored/Probationary sheep from
other categories of sheep at the show. Ideally, this would mean a separate
entrance and exit for each group, separate loading and unloading areas,
separate penning areas for each of the two groups and separate sale rings for
each of the two groups.
b) In locations where all of the above may not be possible, the minimum
requirement would be for separation of loading and unloading areas and also
of penning areas. The two penning areas should be separated by a sheep-free
alleyway at least twelve feet wide. If only one show ring is available, the sheep
from the scrapie-monitored flocks must be shown first.
These flocks are flocks either accredited (full member) or in the process of accreditation (probationary
2
member) for exporting sheep (that might not possess ARR/ARR genotypes).
24Sales between 1st May and 31st October
Sheep from Scrapie Monitored Flocks will be permitted to attend sales taking place
between 1st May and 31st October, without restriction or separation from other
categories of sheep.
Sales outside of the 1st May and 31st October Period
For sales taking place before 1st May or after 31st October, sheep from Scrapie
Monitored or Probationary Flocks must be separated from other sheep as set down
below.
1. There must be complete separation of the two categories of sheep at the
sale (monitored animals including probationary monitored animals and non
monitored animals). Ideally, this would mean a separate entrance and exit
for each group, separate loading and unloading areas, separate penning
areas for each of the three groups and separate sale rings for each of the
three groups.
2. In locations where all of the above may not be possible, the minimum
requirement would be for separation of loading and unloading areas and of
penning areas also. A sheep-free alleyway should separate the two penning
areas at least 12 feet wide.
3. If only one sale ring is available the procedures set out in the following two
options must be adhered to.
a. The sheep from the Scrapie monitored flocks must be offered for
sale first, followed by non-monitored animals or
b. The ring can be divided by gates into two sections to ensure that
each of the two categories of animals is confined to a unique part
of the sales ring.
25SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS – PIGS
Identification
All pigs must be identified by means of an approved ear tag on movement off the
holding. Breeding stock must be individually identified i.e. the letters IE, a five character
herd registration and an individual number, while other stock are required to have a
herd identification i.e. the letters IE and a five character herd registration.
Movement Documents
All consignments of pigs which are being moved must be accompanied by a completed
dispatch document. The dispatch document should reflect the movement to and from
the show. The owner of the animal(s) retains all three copies of the document.
Animal Health Status – Aujeszky’s Disease
Ireland is now officially recognised as being free from Aujeszky’s Disease. Therefore pigs
from any pig holding may be sent to shows.
Export of Pigs to Shows
Exhibitors are asked to contact the NPITS help-line (details below) if they wish to show
pigs at an Agricultural Show in another Member State
Movement Notification
The movement of pigs to and from shows must be notified by phone to the central
movement database on 1890 291 000. Notification of movements to a show must be
made at least 24 hours before the movement takes place. Movements of pigs into the
herd on return from a show must be made within 24 hours of the pigs returning to the
holding.
NPITS Help-line
For assistance on any aspect of the National Pig Identification and Tracing System
(NPITS), contact the NPITS help-line on 0761 064402.
Requirement to register pig shows in advance with the Department
Shows must be notified to the Department to ensure that they are recorded on the
central database. Accordingly it is not possible to accept movement notifications for
unlisted shows. Thus if an exhibitor intends to show pigs, even small numbers of pigs on
a “once off” or an irregular basis, at shows, it is important to check that such shows have
been notified to the Department.
An exhibitor can check if a show is listed and recorded on the central database of the
Department by contacting the Department help–line on 0761 064402.
26SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS – HORSES AND OTHER EQUINES
Premises Registration
As from 1 May 2012, any premises (which includes shows, fairs and markets) where
horses or other equines are gathered must be registered with the Department.
Owners/persons in charge of such gatherings are required to submit a completed
application form for registration and to keep records of movements on/off their
premises.
Records must be retained for at least 3 years as they may be required by the
Department for the purposes of tracing disease. Records required are
• The name and address of the owner/person in charge of the premises from
which the equine came;
• The premises registration number from which the equine came and
• Passport number/UEL number of the animal
It is important therefore that Show organisers should contact their local District
