The goal is to stop the spread of animal epidemics threatening livestock farming. The maintenance of the visit log with expanded data content was ordered in order to prevent the spread of diseases and reduce the damage caused by animal diseases such as avian influenza, African swine fever, peste des petits ruminants and, in particular, foot-and-mouth disease, which threaten and affect Hungary’s livestock farming. Any person who enters the farm but is not listed on the – now customary – attendance sheet, as well as any vehicle that is not among the vehicles required for everyday farm work, must be recorded in the visit log. The farm manager/keeper/owner is responsible for keeping the log complete. If the animal keeper does not comply with the provisions of the resolution, the competent authority may impose a fine.
