You must submit the notification to the Tierseuchenkasse in writing by post, fax or online. Notifications by telephone will not be considered.
In the case of informal notification, you must state
- from which date (month and year) how many animals per species (total number per species) are kept and
- where the animals are housed (address of the stable, if different from home address).
You will receive an animal owner number following the notification. You must state this number for all subsequent notifications. Subsequent notifications are:
- annual livestock declaration
- Change of livestock
- Change of address
Another way of registering with the Tierseuchenkasse is by completing Annex C of the application for registration with the relevant lower animal health authority (veterinary office). The veterinary office forwards the completed annexes to the Tierseuchenkasse Baden-Württemberg.
