Scotland's bluetongue Restricted Zone will cover the entire country from October 3.

Scotland's bluetongue Restricted Zone will be extended to cover the entire country from October 3. The expansion removes the movement licences previously available for susceptible livestock in areas outside the current restriction zone, which covers parts of south-west Scotland.

The nationwide restriction means all movement of affected livestock will require authorisation across Scotland from the start of October. The change applies to animals susceptible to bluetongue, a viral disease affecting ruminants and other livestock.
