France to Resume Live Cattle Exports Nov. 1 Under Tight Health Controls

Officials cite a stabilized situation in regulated areas, with strict traceability rules maintained through mid-November.

Overview

  • Exports restart on November 1 with sanitary certificates reissued after a 15‑day halt imposed on October 18 to curb DNC spread.
  • Veterinary oversight of bovine gathering centers runs through November 4 in regulated areas, and 24‑hour movement notifications remain mandatory nationwide through November 16.
  • The lifting applies to disease‑free zones, while restrictions persist around outbreak areas and festive animal gatherings remain banned.
  • Authorities report no new cases outside regulated zones, yet the disease continues locally with 95 outbreaks recorded and more than 2,600 cattle culled.
  • France ships large volumes of young bovines mainly to Italy and Spain, highlighting the economic urgency of restoring cross‑border trade.
