§ 10704 Swine Farm Premises Definition

This law defines what counts as a 'premises' for swine when they are shipped, requiring the farm to be where the pigs were born and raised or have lived for at least 90 days before being moved.

Key Takeaways

  • •The farm must be the original birth or raising location of the swine.
  • •The pigs must stay on that farm for at least 90 continuous days before shipping.
  • •Only farms meeting this 90‑day residency qualify as the legal 'premises'.

Example

A farmer wants to ship pigs from his original farm to a new market.

The farmer must keep the pigs on that original farm for at least 90 continuous days before sending them, because the law says the 'premises' is the farm where the pigs have lived for that long.
