If you keep susceptible species (ruminants and camelids), you must keep a close watch for, and report, any suspected clinical signs of bluetongue disease in your animals.
To move animals in a disease control zone in England, Scotland or Wales, you may need a licence. Not all licences are immediately available while we investigate cases. More information is available on the bluetongue movement licences page.
