Pig movement
Since 1 February 2018, the National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) Pigs has been used in Australia for tracing pig biosecurity, food safety, product integrity, and market access purposes.
As a result, the following requirements for pig movements are in place.
Moving pigs within SA
Pigs moved within South Australia must be:
- compliant with the requirements of NLIS pigs
- accompanied by a PigPass National Vendor Declaration.
Moving pigs to SA from interstate
Pigs will not be allowed to enter from herds where Porcine brucellosis is known or suspected.
Pigs moved to South Australia from interstate must be:
- compliant with the requirements of NLIS pigs
- accompanied by a PigPass National Vendor Declaration
In addition, breeding pigs entering SA from Queensland and New South Wales must have a:
- completed pig health assessment (PDF 96.2 KB or DOC 230.0 KB)
- copy of a current certificate from the Brucella suis Accredited Herd Scheme.
If herds from Queensland and New South Wales are not accredited, they must either:
- have a negative brucellosis serological test result conducted within the previous 30 days
- be moving to a South Australian facility approved by the Chief Inspector of Stock that carries out brucellosis testing before release.
