Transport vehicles that have transported cloven-hoofed animals (pigs, cattle, sheep, goats and deer) and enter the Netherlands from these countries require an additional cleansing and disinfection (C&D) immediately after entering the Netherlands. This is necessary to prevent the spread of animal diseases such as African Swine Fever (ASF).
