Pig Tales - Buying a pig in NSW - Alan's story

Alan wants to buy a couple of pigs for his five ha block. A conscientious stock owner, he does all of the right things:

• reads the rules on moving pigs into and within NSW
• called his local council to check he is allowed to keep pigs
• got a Property Identification Code from Local Land Services
• got a PigPass National Vendor Declaration from the seller
• quarantining if there are any other animals on the farm
• records the movement on the PigPass database within two days
• doesn't feed his pigs any swill.

Great work Alan in helping keep your neighbours, pork industry and animals safe from disease!
