Resumen: Before being moved off a holding, a pig over 12 months old must be marked with an identification mark or a slapmark (art.14) and a pig 12 months old or less must be marked in that way or with a temporary mark (art.15); and a pig imported from outside the European Union must be identified at the destination of holding with an eartag or tattoo containing the letters "UK" followed by the herdmark and the letter "F" (art.16). In addition to the above requirements, the Order provides that; a pig 12 months old or less being moved to a slaughterhouse or slaughter market must be marked with an identification mark or a slapmark (art.18); a pig being moved to a show, exhibition or for export and also for breeding, where it is intended that the pig shall be returned to the holding from which it was moved, must be marked with an identification mark that includes a unique individual identification number (articles 19 and 20). Article 6 requires slaughterhouse occupiers to record details of pigs that have not been identified under this Order. Part 2 sets out record keeping requirements, including the requirement to keep movement records (art.5), sale records at an auction (art.7) and records of the number of pigs on a holding (art.8). Part 3 defines identification marks (art.10) and slapmarks (art.12) and specifies the requirements for eartags (art.11). Part 6 regulates the movement of pigs (art.21) and pet pigs (art.22) and provides for the approval of holdings from which pigs may be moved without triggering the standstill period in the Disease Control (Wales) Order 2003 (S.I. 2003/1966 (W.211)) in the holding of destination (art.23). Part 7 prohibits the removal and replacement of identification marks, except in certain circumstances (articles 24 and 25).
