Division 4

All samples must be sent to the laboratory accompanied by appropriate forms, in accordance with the requirements established by the competent authority. These forms will include details of the history of the pigs sampled and the clinical signs or post-mortem lesions observed.

In the case of pigs kept in holdings, clear information on age, category and holding of origin of the pigs sampled must be provided. It is recommended that the location of each pig sampled in the holding be recorded together with its unique identification mark.
