Farming Advice & Support
Anyone who owns livestock has many legal
responsibilities. The Environmental Health & Trading
Standards Service can provide information and advice on what is
required under this legislation; please contact us if you require
further, more specialised guidance and information.
We aim to protect the health and welfare of livestock across
Bedford, which includes issuing and inspecting movement licenses
and monitoring animal disease and welfare during transport and at
markets. We actively investigate any serious breach of
legislation and deal with many complaints and referrals each year,
taking appropriate and proportionate enforcement action against
offenders
