This document is essential for agricultural businesses, farmers, and commercial entities engaged in livestock trading within the Belgian market. It incorporates requirements from multiple regulatory frameworks, including Belgian civil law, EU regulations on animal welfare and transport, and specific agricultural legislation. The agreement typically includes detailed provisions for animal identification, health certificates, SANITEL registration, transport requirements, and warranties regarding animal health and condition. It's particularly important for ensuring compliance with Belgian and EU regulations while protecting both buyers' and sellers' interests in livestock transactions. The document is structured to accommodate various types of livestock purchases, from single animals to large herds, and can be adapted for different purposes such as breeding, meat production, or dairy farming.
