Animal Plant Health Agency
You can fatten, rear or finish animals from TB restricted and unrestricted farms at approved finishing units (AFUs) in the high risk and edge areas of England and the low TB area of Wales.
There are pre-movement testing requirements for animals moved to AFUs from TB restricted premises.
In England, cattle in AFUs with grazing must be TB tested every 90 days.
In England and Wales, there is no routine TBtesting of cattle inAFUswithout grazing but the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) can request testing in exceptional circumstances.
In Wales, TB testing is needed if there is a TB breakdown, for example, following confirmation of TB in a recently slaughtered animal.
There are separate application forms for the different types of units in England and in Wales.
Read the guidance documents for the terms and conditions for the approval and operation of an AFU.
