  • Utah State Veterinarian issues emergency order requiring all swine shows and exhibitions to be “terminal” effective May 5 and changes requirements for all swine entering the state. This makes the seventh state to announce similar CVI changes. A spreadsheet showing the updated requirements can be viewed on the AASV website. While we attempt to keep this spreadsheet updated, always verify the import requirements with the state animal health official before shipping pigs.
