Do You Want To Travel With Your Pets To EU Or Northern Ireland From January 2021? These Are The Requirements

Following Brexit, you will no longer be required to present a pet passport earlier than 10 days before travelling to Northern Ireland and EU. Pet passports were only acceptable when the United Kingdom was part of the European Union.

If you want to travel with your dog, cat, or ferret from United Kingdom to Northern Ireland or any country under the European Union from 1st January 2021, you must fulfill the following requirements:

An animal health certificate (AHC) from vets officially allowed to inspect animals for export.
Your dog, cat, or ferret must be vaccinated against rabies 21 days before travelling.
Your dog must be treated against tapeworm if he is travelling to some countries with you.
Your pet and assistance dog must enter the EU through a travellers’ point of entry, which includes all the major French ports such as Calais, Caen and Dunkirk
Your pet must be microchipped, and protected against certain diseases.

This rule also applies to you if you're taking animals from England, Scotland and Wales to Northern Ireland

This change is necessary because the UK will have part 2 listed status under the EU Pet Travel Scheme after Brexit.

If you are stuck, your vet will be able to advise what you need to do in order to obtain the correct documentation to travel. You will also find the latest pet travel advice on gov.uk or by searching ‘pet travel’.”

According to the UK government website, there will be no change to the current health preparations or documents for pets entering Great Britain from the EU or Northern Ireland.

The Best Fish Feed in Nigeria for Catfish: Why Quality Matters

A few months ago, I visited a fish farm run by an ambitious aquapreneur who had high hopes for his homemade fish feed. His pond was large, his vision clear: this feed would cut costs, boost growth, and drive profitability. But within a week, disaster struck. Fish floated belly-up. Growth stalled. The numbers didn’t add up. The problem wasn’t the fish. It was the feed. The catfish were growing exactly as they were fed: poorly. Just as fish can’t flourish on empty calories, a farm can’t succeed on subpar feed. The right nutrition makes the difference between a thriving business and a sinking investment. In Nigeria’s competitive catfish farming industry, choosing the best feed isn’t just about cost, it’s about protein content, digestibility, floatability, and growth performance. The wrong feed leads to stunted growth, higher mortality, and lost profits. The right one maximizes yield, health, and market value. In this article, we’ll explore:...
