You must register where you keep livestock, including those kept as pets. This is so that the government can trace the animals to prevent and control disease.

If you plan to keep livestock on someone else鈥檚 land, or in their buildings, temporarily, you must get either a:

• temporary land association (TLA)
• temporary county parish holding (tCPH) number

You must also get a TLA or tCPH number if you have a 7000 series landless keeper CPH number. You may have this type of CPH number if you do not own the land where you keep livestock. 听

You do not need a TLA or tCPH number if you have a 7000 series landless keeper CPH number and you only keep poultry. Find out about registration rules for poultry and other captive birds.

Before you start

To apply for a TLA or tCPH number, you must have鈥痑 county parish holding (CPH) number for land in England.

If your main holding is in Wales, instead.

You must also register with the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) to鈥�get a flock or herd mark.

When you cannot apply for a TLA or tCPH number

You cannot apply for a TLA or tCPH number if your livestock will mix with someone else鈥檚. You鈥檒l both need to report livestock movements and record them in your holding registers.

You also cannot get a TLA or tCPH number for common land.

When to get a TLA

A TLA is for land or buildings that:

• are within 10 miles of the main area you keep livestock听
• you do not own听
• are in England or Wales听
• are in the same bovine TB risk area as your CPH number

You must also be the only person who keeps livestock on the land or in the building.听

If you have a piece of land that is in both England and Scotland, you cannot get a TLA for any part of that land.听

Apply for a tCPH number instead if:

• you want to register, and will operate, your temporary holding separately from your existing CPH number
• the land you wish to use is in a different TB risk area from your CPH number - find a map of bovine TB risk areas on

What you must do when you have a TLA

A TLA associates the land or building you鈥檙e using temporarily to your existing CPH number.听

This means you can treat the land or building as part of the CPH number it鈥檚 associated with.

You do not need to:

• record or report livestock movements between the TLA land or building and the rest of your听CPH number
• follow the standstill rule if you鈥檙e moving livestock between the TLA land or building and the rest of your CPH number

You must still:

• follow the standstill rule if you鈥檙e moving livestock from the TLA land or building to a different听CPH number
• report any livestock movements to the TLA land or building from a different听CPH听苍耻尘产别谤

Use your CPH number to report the movements. You must also record the movements in your holding register. Find out more about reporting and recording:

• cattle movements听
• sheep and goat movements
• pig movements
• deer movements

Your TLA land or building will be treated as part of your CPH听苍耻尘产别谤 for disease testing and restrictions.

A听TLA听will share a flock or herd mark with your CPH number. This means that you:

• do not need to order different identification tags for livestock kept on a听TLA
• must use your听CPH听苍耻尘产别谤 when you order new or replacement tags

When to get a tCPH number

A tCPH number is for land and buildings:

• more than 10 miles from the main area you keep livestock听
• in England or Wales听
• that you do not own听
• that are not in more than one CPH听苍耻尘产别谤
• that are all rented from the same landowner (if it鈥檚 a group of fields or buildings)

It can be used for land and buildings within 10 miles if:

• you want to register, and will operate, your holdings separately
• the land you wish to use is in a different TB risk area from your CPH number

You must also be the only person who keeps livestock on the land or in the building.

What you must do when you have a tCPH number

You must treat the land included in your tCPH number as separate听to the land included in any other听CPH听苍耻尘产别谤 you hold. This means that you must:

• keep a separate holding register
• keep livestock reported as being on your听tCPH听苍耻尘产别谤 separate from those reported as being on any other听CPH number
• record and report livestock movements between your听tCPH听苍耻尘产别谤 and any other听CPH number
• follow the standstill rule when you move livestock between your听tCPH听苍耻尘产别谤 and any other CPH number
• keep identification documents and cattle passports for livestock you move to your听tCPH number

A听tCPH听苍耻尘产别谤 will share a flock or herd mark with your CPH number. This means that you:

• do not need to order different identification tags for animals kept on a听tCPH number
• must use your听CPH听苍耻尘产别谤 when you order new or replacement tags

Bovine TB testing and听tCPH numbers

You must follow the routine bovine TB testing interval for the bovine TB risk area that applies to your听tCPH number.

The exception is when your听tCPH number听is in the low risk area and your CPH听苍耻尘产别谤 is in the high risk or edge area. Then you must follow the testing interval for your CPH number.

When your听tCPH听苍耻尘产别谤 is in the high risk area and your CPH number听is in the low risk area,听APHA听may ask you to carry out testing on your CPH听苍耻尘产别谤 more often than once every 4 years.

This will depend on the number and frequency of livestock movements between your CPH听苍耻尘产别谤 and your听tCPH number.

You should test on your听tCPH number听at the same time as your CPH听苍耻尘产别谤 wherever possible.

If you lose your TB free status (for example, due to a TB breakdown), APHA will apply movement restrictions.

This means you must not move cattle on or off your听CPH numbers听and听tCPH numbers unless APHA gives you a licence to do so.

APHA will only remove these restrictions after testing or a veterinary risk assessment.

If you need advice, call APHA.
