Owning a Pedigree Pig - Record pig movements
As well as knowing where the herds are Defra and Animal Health also
need to be able to trace the movements of pigs in case they may have
spread disease.
• Pig movements must be accompanied by an AMLS2 movement document.
The person you are buying the pigs from will be responsible for
providing the AMLS2. In the event of a disease outbreak the AMLS2
provides traceability because Defra knows where the pigs are and
where they have been .
• You must send the white copy to your Local Authority’s Trading
Standards Animal Health department within 3 days of the pigs
arriving. You retain the pink copy of the AMLS2 for at least 6
months.
In addition to the movement licence all pig movements on and off
your farm must be recorded in your movement book.

of a pig on or off the holding within 36 hours of the movement.
• Once a year you need to record the maximum number of pigs normally
present on the holding.
• These records can be in written or electronic form.
• You need to keep these records for 6 years after you stop keeping
pigs.
• Your records must be available for inspection by the Local
Authority.
