PART I Measures that apply to holdings in the infected area

Records of pigs

1.  The occupier of a holding within the infected area must prepare, under the direction of a veterinary inspector, a record by category of pigs on the holding and must ensure that the record is kept up to date and provided, on request, to an inspector. In the case of holdings where pigs are not kept inside, the first record may be based on an estimate.

Isolation of pigs

2.  The occupier must ensure that —

(a) all the pigs on the holding are restricted to their living quarters or to some other part of the holding where they can be isolated from feral pigs; and

(b) feral pigs are prevented from gaining access to any material that might come into contact with the pigs on the holding.

Movement of pigs

3.  No person may move a pig on to or off the holding unless licensed to do so by a veterinary inspector or an inspector acting in accordance with the directions of a veterinary inspector.

Bio-security

4.  The occupier must ensure that appropriate means of disinfection are provided and used at the entrances and exits of those parts of the holding in which pigs are being kept and of the holding itself.

Dead or diseased pigs

5.  The occupier must ensure that he or she notifies the Divisional Veterinary Manager of any feral pigs that die on the holding and retain the carcases of such animals on the holding until a veterinary inspector has notified him or her that he or she no longer needs to do so.

Feral pigs

6.  No person may bring on to a holding in the infected area —

(a) the carcase or any part of a feral pig; or

(b) any material or equipment which could have been had contact with a feral pig in the infected area.
