[QUOTE="Ffermer Bach, post: 7446860, member: 51054"] just doing it now, remember farm assured can be FAWL (farm assured Welsh Livestock), not just Red Tractor. Also, you have to tick beef or sheep, but stock farms are often both. My biggest fear about biosecurity is Wales becoming a NVZ. At present slurry is spread in house with a splash plate spreader. I think Slurry is an excellent medium to spread diseases. If we have to inject/dribble bar all slurry, I think there will be a big increase in the use of contractors for this. The upshot of the increased use of contractors will be, an increase in the spreading of diseases between farms. I have never heard of anyone cleaning out the inside of a tanker, or an umbilical spreading system! I discussed the spreading of TB with a ministry vet, and we talked about slurry spreading and how it is good practice to use in house machinery, welsh politicians have just kicked that out of the parc!
