Copies of the leaflets can be obtained from your local Animal Health Office or MAFF’s Foot and Mouth Disease website at www.maff.gov.uk/animalh/diseases/fmd/default.htm.
Alternatively, you can request them from MAFF’s FMD helpline (0845 0504141). Copies have also been distributed to the National Farmers Union and the National Pig Association. Further leaflets giving specific welfare advice on poultry, goats and deer will be available in the coming week.
