New farmed animals legislation came into force in England in August 2000. The new regulations replace some existing UK legislation and implement EU Directive 98/58/EC which sets, for the first time, minimum standards across Europe for the welfare of all farmed animals (but invertebrates are excluded). Similar legislation is being drawn up in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
