Answer

Can I still move sheep or goats in Mallorca during a bluetongue risk?

Movement rules can change during a bluetongue risk period, so livestock owners in Mallorca should check the current guidance from veterinarians or the authorities before moving animals. In practice, the priority is to avoid creating new transmission routes and to keep transport and collection points coordinated. If you are unsure, it is safer to ask first than to assume movement is allowed.
