When you first buy a pedigree pig you become responsible for the health and welfare of your herd. You must also ensure that you do not endanger the health of other pig keepers herds.
There are some government rules with which you must comply. This Animal Health and Welfare legislation is designed to protect the health of other farmers pigs as well as your own and to ensure that welfare standards are maintained.
The key areas that you must be aware of can be found on the BPA website under Responsibilities and Legal Obligations
