What this sheet is for
Follow a batch of bought-in or returning animals through isolation until they join the rest. The tests, the daily checks and the vet's agreement are all on one record.
Who it is for
Farmers and smallholders buying in cattle, sheep, goats, pigs or camelids, or bringing animals home from shows and grazing away.
How to use it
- Fill in page one as the batch arrives: source holding, identification, health information from the seller and where they are kept.
- Agree a release date and the tests with your vet, and write both down.
- Log every test, vaccine and treatment with the result or product as labelled.
- Check the animals daily on page two: tick if all looked normal, or write the tag of any that did not.
- Sign the batch out only when the release has been agreed.
What is on the sheet
2 pages, in this order:
Page 1
Printed under the title: One batch of bought-in or returning animals, from the day they arrive to the day they join the rest: where they came from, what was tested and given, how they looked each day and who agreed their release.
The period is agreed with your vet. No isolation period, test or vaccine is printed. How long animals are kept apart, and what they are tested for, depends on the health status of your stock and of theirs, and is set with your vet. Write down where they are kept and anything they share with your own stock: air, water, a fence line or drainage.

Questions
How long should bought-in animals be kept in isolation?
There is no single period: it depends on the diseases in question, the health status of both farms and the tests involved, and some need longer than others. Agree it with your vet and write the date on the sheet.
Does this replace the movement record?
No. The movement onto the holding still goes on your livestock movement record and any official reporting. This sheet follows what happens to the batch after it arrives.
