Owner/vendor declaration of enzootic bovine leucosis (EBL) in dairy cattle

Summary

The Owner/Vendor Declaration of Enzootic Bovine Leucosis (EBL) in Dairy Cattle form is completed by the vendor of dairy cattle at a time of purchasing or selling cattle, whether through saleyard or agents.

When the vendor signs the form upon sale of cattle which are subsequently tested positive to EBL (within 14 days of leaving the vendor's property), the purchaser of the cattle is entitled to a full refund of purchase price plus transport costs.

Use of this form is not compulsory but it will protect purchasers of dairy cattle against financial loss in such an eventuality.
