In England it is a 6 day standstill before you can move sheep, cattle, etc, but a 20 day standstill before you can move other (or the same) pigs.  It's 6 days with no movements, so it actually means you can move the sheep one week after you bring the pigs on.

In Scotland, bringing pigs on to your holding triggers a 13 day standstill on cows, sheep and goats. I actually checked this with an Animal Health vet last week and printed it off to put in with my movement licences. The length of time is related to the incubation period for FMD.

20 days for pigs      unless going to slaughter     the live pigs cannot move unless going for killing
if you have an approved isolation facility  the 20 day period does not apply       you have a holding within a holding           
the 13 day standstill that rosemary is referring to applies to other animals on the holding      again if you have an isolation facility this does not apply :farmer:
