- To ensure that animals, poultry and fish kept under the various production and pet care systems in Jersey do not suffer from animal welfare related problems;
- To exercise controls to prevent the incursion of animal, poultry and fish diseases in order to protect the health of animals, poultry, fish and the public, on the Island of Jersey, and to control such disease incursions should they occur;
- To prevent the transmission of disease to the public through contamination of meat products processed locally;
- To facilitate the export of live animals and fish from the Island.
It is the role of the States Veterinary Officer to implement and oversee these along with her assistant and members of the Inspectorate Team. Any queries can be directed to the Veterinary Section:-
