Ruling for MV/CAE accredited stock.
The show is required to validate MV/CAE Health Declarations from exhibitors prior to unloading stock, collect them and return them to SAC Veterinary Services. To ensure compliance, please provide a current photocopy, either with your entry or on the day to the steward before unloading takes place.
