to their herd of origin. This
will enable itate and federal
animal health officials to
work with herd owners to
test their animals and
eliminate the disease. This
provides an economical and
efficient procedure for
monitoring the swine
population in the United
States for evidence of the
disease.
This method is used
because the number of
brucellosis-infected hogs is
so -low that it isn’t
economically feasible to test
every herd of hogs in the
country.
APHIS officials explain
that a uniform coding
system has been developed
so that owners, market
agencies, dealers, buying
stations, and packers can
identify sows and boars
going to slaughter. This
system utilizes a slap tattoo
consisting of three letters
and three numbers applied
to the shoulder of the
slaughter swine. The letters
designate the state and
market point, while the
numbers are used to identify
each lot or consignment.
Although difficult to read on
the live animal, the coded
tattoo is clearly legible after
the hog is slaughtered and
dehaired. All market
agencies, buying stations,
dealers and packers are
urged to cooperate with
producers in the slap tattoo
identification of all sows and
boars.
APHIS officials estimate
that swine brucellosis can be
eradicated in five years or
