About the British Livestock Genetics Consortium (BLG)

BLG is a National pan-industry consortium covering the farm animal breeding sector, formed to assist in the development and maintenance of profitable long-term business generated by exports of British livestock and genetics. BLG aims to do this by creating a positive, favourable image in international markets and promoting Britain as a supplier of high quality breeding animals, semen and embryos.

The UK Government publishes Export Health Certificates (EHCs) in relation to the products (live animals, semen and embryos) and species (cattle, sheep, pigs, goats etc) which may be exported from the UK to various countries around the world. To find an EHC, please click HERE.
