-Low-risk commercial breeding goats (Note: an owner and veterinary statement is 

 not required, unlike the practice for low-risk commercial sheep); and 

 • Sexually intact sheep or goats for exhibition. 



Please note that scrapie-positive, suspect, and high-risk animals, some exposed 

 animals, and animals that originated in an infected or source flock require permits 

 rather than CVIs. Contact the APHIS, VS Area Office for further information on 

 these permits. 



A certificate must show 



1. Individual animal identification, including the official eartag number; registered 

 breed association registration tattoo, or brand. For additional information, please 

 refer to the section on "Identification Requirements" in the Scrapie Eradication — 

 Uniform Methods and Rules at <http://www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/nahps/scrapie/ 

 umr-scrapie-erad.pdf>. 



2. Registered breed association registration number and any other official individual 

 identification of each animal to be moved. Except in the case of animals identified 

 with premises identification that is assigned to the flock of origin and that meets 

 the requirements for individual animal identification, the premises number 

 maybe recorded instead of the individual identification number. (Copies of the 

 registration papers can be attached to the CVI in lieu of recording all registration 

 information on the certificate. Other attachments may also be used to list the 

 identification of the animals as permitted in 9 CFR 79.5(b), in lieu of recording 

 them directly on the certificate.) 



3. Number of animals covered by the certificate. 



4. Purpose for which the animals are to be moved. 



5. Points of origin and destination. 



6. The consignor and the consignee. 



7. A statement by the issuing accredited or State or Federal veterinarian that the 

 animals were not exhibiting clinical signs associated with scrapie at the time 

 of examination. (State CVIs that have certification statements indicating that 

 "the animals have no history of clinical signs or exposure to contagious or 

 infectious diseases," or words to that effect, will suffice in lieu of the specific 

 scrapie statement). 



8. An owner statement indicating whether the animal is or is not a scrapie-positive, 

 suspect, high-risk, or exposed animal and whether it originated in an infected, 

 source, exposed, or noncompliant flock. Market veterinarians may make this 

 statement on behalf of the owner if 



• The market has notified sellers in writing that any animal for which this 

 statement cannot be made must be made known to the market operator 

 before the animal is unloaded at the market;
