Do I have to arrange the slaughter of the animal?

Information related to the slaughter of a Tuberculosis (TB) reactor animal.

The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) will arrange this for you. After the animal has been valued DARD will arrange and pay to move it to the slaughterhouse. You will receive forms requiring a declaration of any residues that may be in the animal. The completed form(s) must go with the animal to the slaughterhouse.

The haulier will obtain an MC2L (movement licence) for the reactor. Please check that the ear tag number on the BT28A/B residues declaration forms and MC2L match the number on the animal’s official ear tags.
