Basic requirements
Breeder swine

Feral swine
Basic requirements
Basic requirements are the same for all swine (all porcine species, including "project" pigs, pet pigs, hunting boars, pot-bellied pigs, etc.)
  • The Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (abbreviated CVI, sometimes incorrectly called a ´health certificate´) must be issued less than 30 days prior to entry into Oregon and must state the swine have not been fed raw garbage and have not been vaccinated against pseudorabies .
  • Requirements for pseudorabies and brucellosis tests are based on official status of state or herd of origin. Call 503-986-4679 for details. We follow the Uniform Methods & Rules for eradication of these diseases.
  • Import permit from ODA - Veterinarian calls 503-986-4679 for the permit.

Breeder swine
In addition to the above, all breeder swine must also have been vaccinated against erysipelas and leptospirosis according to vaccine manufacturer's directions.

Feeder swine
Oregon has no recognized feeding facilities. Therefore, if feeder swine originate from a state with an official Pseudorabies status of less than Class IV, they must be treated as breeder swine for testing purposes.

Feral swine
Feral swine may not be imported.
