Chapter 12:68:29 - Livestock identification
Section 12:68:29:05 - Obligation to identify sows, boars, or stags
Each agent or agency livestock dealer, livestock market operator, stockyard operator, commission company, buying station, operator of any concentration point at which the herd of origin of swine might be lost, and each slaughtering establishment that maintains a meat inspection service or receives sows or boars from a transport agent shall identify the sows or boars brought to it, unless the swine have been previously identified with identification authorized and applied as directed by the board, in accordance with 9 C.F.R. § 78.33 (January 1, 2021). Failure of a previous agent or agency receiving the swine to identify the swine to the herd of origin does not relieve other agents or agencies from identifying them to the herd of origin.
