(510 ILCS 100/11) (from Ch. 8, par. 511)
Sec. 11.
Application.
Application for a permit as required by Section
10 may be made by
the person making the shipment or by the person receiving the swine. Any permit
issued under this Act is valid for 72 hours from time of issuance to time of
delivery of the swine, and shall accompany the shipment. Such shipment shall
also be accompanied by a health certificate issued by an accredited
veterinarian of the state of origin or a veterinarian in the employ of the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. Such health certificate shall
indicate the number of animals and description of same involved in the
shipment, shall show that the swine are free from evidence of any contagious,
infectious or communicable disease, and are not from a quarantined area. At
the time of issuance of the health certificate, an accredited veterinarian
shall ear tag or tattoo each head of feeding swine and the number of such tag
or tattoo shall appear on the health certificate, except that feeder swine
consigned from the farm of origin directly to a federally approved market shall
be tagged immediately upon arrival at the market if they arrive directly from
that state of origin.
Breeding
swine shall be
identified by registration number, ear tag, tattoo or ear notch approved by the
respective breed registry, and such identification shall appear on the health
certificate. Ear tag or tattoo numbers for feeder swine which originate from
cooperative feeder pig sales do not have to be listed on the health certificate
if the location of the record of such numbers is shown on the health
certificate. All ear tags or tattoos shall indicate the state of origin of the
swine.
The consignee shall be furnished with a copy of the health certificate
which shall be delivered to the receiver of the swine, and a copy bearing
the approval of the Animal Health Official of the state of origin must be
filed with the Department.
