Which of the following is NOT a required part of a health certificate?

A health certificate is a crucial document in the context of animal welfare, especially when it comes to the transport and sale of animals. The purpose of this certificate is to certify that the animal has been examined by a licensed veterinarian and is healthy enough to meet legal and welfare standards for movement or sale.

In this context, the inclusion of a statement that the animal is free of infectious disease, the date of examination, and a statement about any physical abnormalities directly relate to the animal's health status, providing necessary information to ensure that the animal does not pose a health risk to other animals or humans. These details help in assessing the animal’s overall health and ensuring compliance with public health regulations.

On the other hand, a statement about the animal's last meal is not typically a required component of a health certificate. While this information might be relevant in certain circumstances, it does not directly pertain to the animal's health status in the way that the other requirements do. Therefore, it is correct that this detail is not mandated to be included in health certificates.
