HENthusiastic Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 hi. I keep hearing about a county parish holding number, but I dont really know what it is. Ive got chickens, 3 ducks, 4 quail. I've just got signed on with DEFRA's poultry register, but should I have a CPH number as well because of the alpaca? The bloke I spoke to at DEFRA didn't know. Does anybody know how / where I find out. Is it to do with defra? Thanks for any comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 You dont need a holding number for poultry I'm not sure about the Alpacas though.. we have one because of the sheep The CPH bit is how the number is made up - numbers for county, parish and then a unique number on the end for your particular holding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I would imagine you would need for the alpaca - all cloven hoofed animals and its easier then for the government agencies to see who has stock for things like foot and mouth disease - and they will be registered as stock keepers.
