To prevent disease spread, movement permits will be issued only for pigs with “no contact” with infected or suspect ASF, CSF, or FMD cases. Records and traceability will be important for assessing risk of contact.
In March of 2024 at the National Pork Industry Forum, producers supported a set of live-swine traceability standards that were created by the producer-led Swine Traceability Task Force with NPPC. The draft standards (pdf) were then submitted to USDA APHIS with a request for inclusion in the CFR. More information can be found at: Swine Traceability. Although the standards have not yet been adopted by USDA, producers are encouraged to pursue opportunities to adopt the standards on their farms.
Premises Identification Number (PIN or PremID)
A PIN helps regulatory officials quickly alert producers about protecting livestock in high-risk areas due to FAD outbreaks. The PIN will also help producers request a movement permit and can link test results to the farm, which may allow permits to be issued sooner.
Get Your PIN
Request a PIN from the office of your State Animal Health Official, or visit the Pork Checkoff site for more information.
Already Have a PIN? Great! Now it is time to validate it.
Contact your State Animal Health Official to ensure the PIN data includes a valid 911 address and a set of matching coordinates (longitude and latitude) reflecting the location of the animals.

Use the premises verification tool.
Movement Records
One way to show “no contact” is through movement records. Electronic, near real-time movement records will be critical in a FAD outbreak. AgView is a web-based platform that can be used to securely store and share movement information. AgView is free for pork producers to use. Create an account and begin recording movements at the AgView website.
Practice Questionnaires for FMD Exposure
In an outbreak, regulatory officials may request additional information to demonstrate “no contact” with infected farms. Below are examples of information that may be requested.
