Any pigs on the move anywhere in Australia must now have a PigPass (Photo: Australian Pork)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

February 5, 2018 <\/strong><\/p>\n

A scheme to track all movements of pigs has begun in Australia, part of an expanded National Livestock Identification System.<\/p>\n

On February 1, State and Territory governments introduced mandatory reporting of all pig movements to the PigPass database.<\/p>\n

Federal Agriculture Minister and Member for Maranoa David Littleproud said the move brought the pork industry into line with the cattle, sheep and goat industries.<\/p>\n

\u201cStrong traceability is a key part of a strong biosecurity system,\u201d Mr Littleproud said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPigPass uses ear tags or tattoos to identify animals. All pig movements on to farms, saleyards, showgrounds and abattoirs are documented in a database using a National Vendor Declaration.<\/p>\n

“This database is used by State and Territory governments to trace livestock in an emergency.<\/p>\n

\u201cPigPass means animals can be identified quickly and allows the property of birth and residence to be easily located if there were ever a food safety issue or exotic disease outbreak.”<\/p>\n

A PigPass National Vendor Declaration (PigPass NVD) form must be completed when pigs are moved from any property.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This applies to all pig owners and producers, regardless of the numbers of the pigs moved.<\/p>\n

The receiver of the pigs must “close the loop”‘ by reporting the movement online using the originating sender\u2019s serial number from the PigPass NVD.<\/p>\n

A receiver could be an abattoir, a pig producer, a pet pig owner, a saleyard, a knackery, a show or event, or a livestock agent.<\/p>\n

PigPass is designed to link pigs to a property of origin using a Property Identification Code (PIC), registered pig identification (ear tags and tattoos), and pig movement documentation (the PigPass NVD).<\/p>\n

Pig owners – whether they own one pig, 20 pigs, a pet pig or a Christmas pig – must register with PigPass.<\/p>\n

Failure to comply with the reporting requirements could result in fines.<\/p>\n

There are more than 1400 pig farms in Australia and the pork industry is worth more than $1.3 billion to the national economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
