Step #3: Locate and compile records: Logbooks, CVIs and SOPs
State Animal Health Officials (SAHOs) must be able to easily conduct a trace-back investigation in the event of a Foreign Animal Disease outbreak. These documents will be used in future steps as you draft your Enhanced Biosecurity Plan.
A PIN will be required for all premises of origin and destination for farm animal movement
- List all commonly used premises of origin and destination for farm animal movement including downstream sites
- Obtain Premises Identification Numbers for each source (origin) and destination location
- Transport records should include date, vehicle, driver, source PIN and destination PIN
- A “traceability and movement log” spreadsheet is available for standardized formatting
Locate the following documents so SAHOs can review them on short notice:
- All movement logbooks:
- People entry log
- Vehicle and equipment entry log
- Animal movement log
- Record of checking bait stations
- Training documentation log
- Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
- Employee and visitor arrival agreement
- Delivery protocols for feed, equipment and semen
- Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (CVIs) and Health Production Plan movements
Identify all breeding stock and animal groups prior to movement
- All breeding animals must be identified with an official PIN tag associated with the premises of the animal immediately prior to harvest
- Purchase tags from an approved tag supplier www.pork.org/pintag
