It is considered that the most effective means of ensuring regulatory compliance is through a programme of inspection of holdings. These inspection visits focus on the following matters: - Checking the proper maintenance of livestock records. - Checking the proper identification of stock. - Checking the adequacy of biosecurity, and cleansing and disinfection measure. - Checking for evidence of animal disease. - Checking the general standards of animal husbandry and animal welfare. - Checking the adequacy of arrangements for the loading, unloading and handling of stock and transport thereof. - Promoting awareness of regulatory requirements and improving standards of stock husbandry and production.
