Farming advice and support

About this service

The provision of information and advice to farmers and prospective farmers. Anyone who owns livestock has many legal responsibilities and the Trading Standards Service can provide information and advice on what is required under this legislation and to provide a contact for further, more specialised guidance and information if required.

We aim to protect the health and welfare of livestock across Wiltshire, which includes issuing and inspecting movement licenses and monitoring animal disease and welfare during transport and at markets. We actively investigate any serious breach of legislation and deal with many complaints and referrals each year, taking appropriate and proportionate enforcement action against offenders.
