The position is that certain bovine animals are required to have a blood test for brucellosis within the 60 day period prior to movement.
A certificate of compliance (farm to farm movement cert) is issued in cases where it is intended to move the animal within a shorter period and therefore the maximum validity period for a certificate of compliance is 30 days.
There are no plans to extend the validity period of compliance certificates beyond the current 30-day limit.
