OIE Standards  CHAPTER 1.4 Animal health surveillance Article 1.4.3 Principles of surveillance c) In addition, surveillance data should be supported by related information such as: ii) data on animal movements, including transhumance and natural wildlife migrations

OIE Standards  CHAPTER 4.2. Design and implementation of identification systems to achieve animal traceability Article 4.2.3 5.c.iii) The registration of animal movements is necessary to achieve animal traceability. When an animal is introduced into or leaves an establishment, these events constitute a movement.

OIE Standards  CHAPTER 4.3. Zoning and compartmentalization Article 4.2 …. r eferences to ‘import’, importation’ and ‘imported animals/products’ found in the Terrestrial Code apply both to importation into a country and to the movement of animals and their products into zones and compartments. Such movements should be the subject of appropriate measures to preserve the animal health status of the zone/compartment.

OIE Standards  CHAPTER 8.7. Foot and Mouth Disease Article 8.7.4 FMD free zone where vaccination is not practised Article 8.7.5 FMD free zone where vaccination is practised Article 8.7.14 Recommendations for importation (ruminants & pigs) from FMD infected countries or zones

Article 8.7.4 FMD free zone where vaccination is not practiced AND Article 8.7.5 FMD free zone where vaccination is practised To qualify for inclusion in the list of FMD free zones where vaccination is/is not practised, a Member Country should: ….. 1) ….. 2) ….. 3) 4) Describe in detail and supply documented evidence that these are properly implemented and supervised: a) …. b) …. c) the system for preventing the entry of the virus (including the control of the movement of susceptible animals) into the proposed FMD free zone ….

Article 8.7.14 Recommendations for importation (of ruminants & pigs) from FMD infected countries or zones Veterinary Authorities should require the presentation of an international veterinary certificate attesting that the animals : 1) showed no clinical sign of FMD on the day of shipment; 2) were kept in the establishment of origin since birth, or a) for the past 30 days, if a stamping-out policy is in force in the exporting country , or b) for the past 3 months, if a stamping-out policy is not in force in the exporting country , and that FMD has not occurred within a ten-kilometre radius of the establishment of origin for the relevant period as defined in points a) and b) above; and 3) were isolated in an establishment for the 30 days prior to shipment, and all animals in isolation were subjected to diagnostic tests (probang and serology) for evidence of FMDV infection with negative results at the end of that period, and that FMD did not occur within a ten-kilometre radius of the establishment during that period; or 4) were kept in a quarantine station for the 30 days prior to shipment, all animals in quarantine were subjected to diagnostic tests (probang and serology) for evidence of FMDV infection with negative results at the end of that period, and that FMD did not occur within a ten-kilometre radius of the quarantine station during that period; 5) were not exposed to any source of FMD infection during their transportation from the quarantine station to the place of shipment .

GUIDE TO TERRESTRIAL ANIMAL HEALTH SURVEILLANCE (OIE) 4.4.10 Animal movement records Definition: Records of animal movements for production and trade purposes. Advantages: – They are vital to surveillance and the control of many animal diseases, as well as for the prevention of some foodborne contaminations. – They allow the management of outbreaks of foodborne illness. – They provide valuable information for risk analysis and risk-based surveillance.

GUIDE TO TERRESTRIAL ANIMAL HEALTH SURVEILLANCE (OIE) cont’d: 3. Animal movement records without animal identification Animal movements may nevertheless be recorded at strategic points. – In Senegal, for example, the veterinary post of Rosso on the Mauritanian border records all the animals coming in or going out of the country. Staff at the veterinary post register origin, destination, name of the owner and type and number of animals crossing. Other veterinary posts located at the strategic nodes of animal circulation may also be able to provide data on animal movements and contacts. It is important to investigate what data are available locally.

Future Directions Animal Movement Management • ‘Import’ conditions/standards; • Animal identification; • Recording

Asian Development Bank IV.2. Action Plan for Transboundary Animal Disease Control and Livestock Trade in the GMS Based on these findings, a number of possible interventions were suggested including implementation of regional disease control and addressing disease at source, facilitation of cross-border trade and harmonization of movement procedures, targeting of geographical critical points for disease control, and targeting individual stakeholders (traders, middlemen) for animal health interventions.

TA-6390 REG: Transboundary Animal Disease Control for Poverty Reduction in the Greater Mekong Subregion TERMS OF REFERENCE Cross-Border Trade: Livestock Identification and Traceability System (LITS) B. Objective 4. The objective of the assignment is to develop a suitable regional livestock identification and traceability system (LITS) to facilitate the control of transboundary livestock diseases, particularly foot-and- mouth disease (FMD), and to promote cross-border livestock trade and agribusiness investment.

CASP Phase ll 2011-2015 CASP Phase I supported activities related to improving the management of livestock trade and transboundary animal disease control in the subregion including developing guidelines on livestock movement and a system for identification and tracking to facilitate trading of live animals in accordance with national health standards and international obligations. To further enhance these efforts, CASP Phase II will support the following: • integration with the Emergency Prevention System against transboundary animal and plant pests and diseases; and • formulating measures for adoption by GMS member countries, focusing on animal diseases, in particular those affecting intraregional and export trade of livestock.
