Quarantine Units Q&A

04 Medi 2017

The requirements and operational rules for a QU are set out in the Certification Body guidance available via a link on the Welsh Government website.

QUs provide livestock keepers with an exemption to the six day standstill (6DSS) arrangements for cattle, sheep and goats. The exemption does not apply to pigs. Movements into a QU will not trigger a 6DSS on the main holding, allowing animals to be moved off the main holding while incoming animals observe the 6DSS requirements in a QU. Livestock keepers can choose between using approved QUs to manage the movements of cattle, sheep and goats or adhering to the 6DSS on their whole holding.
