Movement onto farm

If I go to Farm A and collect a pig and go to farm B to collect more does that count as a movement onto farm B ? the pig from Farm A will not leave the trailer.

No I wouldn't have thought so.

if nothing gets off, and the new ones are loaded on without anything getting off, then it is a multiple pickup, and subject to certain rules ok.

This explains how you have to carry out a multiple pickup.

When we registered our isolation unit we were also inspected for multiple pickup. The person drew a map of the multiple pickup area and we were given paperwork to say we were approved for that, along with a copy of the map and instructions of how to carry out the pickup at our holding.


We got the multiple pickup so we could travel to shows with someone else. Bearing in mind we both had pigs from an isolation unit and were going to the same show we felt the risk minimal.


I would think carefully about having someone come to me with pigs on board from another holding. I would want to know what bio security measures had been carried out.
