Ministry of Agrarian Policy to establish pigs obligatory identification/registration before transportation or sale since 2009
06.12.2007 15:15 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
As to Ministry of Agrarian Policy draft Decree “About Bringing Changes to Decree of Ministry of Agrarian Policy ¹ 497 from Dec 31, 2004," Ministry is going to prolong pigs identification (to be applied before transportation/sale) deadline until Jan 1, 2009. As to presently efficient Decree, ban on unidentified pigs transportation, sale and slaughter will come into force since Jan 1, 2008. As to Ministry of Agrarian Policy data, as of Nov 1, 2007 only 18,030 pigs had been identified (2% of Ukrainian total). Thus, postponement of abovementioned end period will enable animals owners to end identification and assure country market meat products stable supply. As of now, all agricultural animals whose milk/meat is used for human consumption are to be obligatory identified. It is to be reminded, Ukrainian nationwide animals identification/registration started in 2003 with cattle identification.
