Like I said, there are no specific requirement to clean, disinfect or anything else, if your animals are pets and you are moving your pets safely, even a car boot is fine. It is all down to your own good judgement..


Unfortunately, DEFRA and SGRPID consider goats to be livestock, not pets. Pets can be buried in your garden, goats can't.

The point I was making with animals being pets is that, pets are not likely to moved around for commerce and so the vast majority of movement laws do not apply as per the EC 2005 regulation. But I stand corrected on the disinfection issue.

I know, and I consider my goats to be my pets as well. But the powers that be don't think they are pets. They think they are farm animals.

I take it that you have moved your goats - The trailer was here for you to use if you had let us know when and where you wanted it.
when the revolution comes it will be a co-op

I use a transit connect van, there is mesh across behind the seats.
I like to be able to see them and know they are traveling OK.
 
I have to admit, never thought about disinfecting it, but it's only used for them or animal feed now.
