If a regulatory program is implemented it is appropriate not only to have regulatory support for movement controls (including quarantine), but also the willingness and resources to enforce the regulations. Under such programs it may be necessary to have regulatory staff available to maintain movement check points, check movement documentation, carry out saleyard inspections and enforce other regulations, as appropriate. However, regulation does not necessarily mean that the program will be complied with. In fact, a voluntary program with effective education and ownership of the program by farmers may be more effective than an unpopular regulatory approach.
