Article 5(3)
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Movement and Sale of Pigs Order 1975 ("the 1975 Order") which, amongst other provisions, contains a prohibition on the movement of pigs from any premises within 21 days of the movement of any pigs on to those premises, subject to certain specified exemptions. The Order adds a further exemption to such prohibition where pigs are moved for breeding purposes under the authority of a licence in the form set out in Schedule 4 to the 1975 Order issued under article 5 of that Order (article 2(a)).
The Order also amends the form of the declarations required to be made before a licence is issued under article 5 of the 1975 Order authorising the movement of pigs from any premises (article 2(c)), the movement of pigs from all premises being subject to licensing control under the 1975 Order, with the exception of certain specified movements. A person making such a declaration is now required to declare that no pigs on his premises have been fed or brought into contact with any waste food (including waste food originating from his own household) during the previous three months.
