22-Dec-2010 (15 years 5 months 15 days ago)Today 92% of all U.S. swine premises have a nationally standardized premises identification number (PIN), as calculated by the Pork Checkoff using U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) data representing 65,907 premises.
Nearly half of these farms were registered over the last three years in conjunction with a cooperative agreement between the pork industry and USDA.
The next step in the program is to achieve even more adoption of the individual and group identification practices under the plan.
