Both the BPA and AHDB have produced documentation to carry with you when you are transporting your pigs. You must still carry your AML2 document as well.
If you are in the BPA you will have received an email from Marcus and his team and a copy to download.
AHDB information is available here https://ahdb.org.uk/coronavirus

If you have any problems with either document please email the club mail@gospbc.co.uk and we will send you a copy by return, for the BPA version we will need your HDL and for the AHDB your holding number. This is to ensure only persons entitled use the documentation.
