345 IAC 1-1.5-2 Certificates of veterinary inspection

Authority: IC 15-17-3-21

Affected: IC 15-17-10-13

Sec. 2. (a) The following qualify as official certificates of veterinary inspection for purposes of IC 15-17 and this title:

(1) A printed or an electronic form that meets the following requirements:

(A) The form meets the requirements of IC 15-17 and this rule.

(B) The form is approved by the state veterinarian. When approving printed and electronic forms, the state veterinarian may deny a request for approval of a form that does not:

(i) contain required information; or

(ii) meet security or compatibility standards for state electronic information management systems.

The state veterinarian shall publish a list of approved forms.

(i) The veterinarian is accredited by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) under 9 CFR, Subchapter J.

(ii) The veterinarian is licensed to practice veterinary medicine in the state.

(2) A printed or an electronic form approved by the principal animal health official of another state if the following requirements are met:

(A) The state veterinarian determines that the form meets the requirements for a CVI in IC 15-17 and this title.

(B) The form is issued and signed by a veterinarian who holds the following qualifications:

(i) The veterinarian is accredited by the USDA under 9 CFR, Subchapter J.

(ii) The veterinarian is licensed to practice veterinary medicine in the state of origin.

(3) A printed or an electronic form approved by the USDA if the following requirements are met:

(A) The state veterinarian determines that the form meets the requirements for a CVI in IC 15-17 and this title.

(B) The form is issued and signed by a veterinarian who holds the following qualifications:

(i) The veterinarian is accredited by the USDA under 9 CFR, Subchapter J.

(ii) The veterinarian is licensed to practice veterinary medicine in the state of origin.

(4) A printed or an electronic form approved by the principal animal health official of another country if the following requirements are met:

(B) The form is recognized by the USDA.

(C) The form is issued and signed by a veterinarian recognized by the USDA as authorized to prepare official animal health documents for moving animals into the United States.

(b) A CVI that meets the requirements of this rule must be used whenever a CVI is required by IC 15-17 or this title. However, if a statute or rule requires a specific form for a CVI, the more specific requirement controls over the general requirements in this rule.

(1) The species of animals covered by the CVI.

(2) The number of animals covered by the CVI.

(3) The purpose for which the animals are to be moved.

(4) The address at which the animals were loaded for movement.

(5) The address to which the animals are destined.

(6) The names of the consignor and consignee and their addresses, if different from the address at which the animals were loaded or to which the animals are destined.

(d) Unless a rule adopted by the board provides an exception, the CVI must list the official identification number of each animal or group of animals moved that is required to be officially identified. Listing of identification numbers may be accomplished under the requirements in subsection (f). If animals moving under a GIN also have individual official identification, only the GIN must be listed on the CVI. If an animal is identified with an official identification number that adheres to the AIN system, the AIN number is the only form of identification that must be recorded.

(e) A CVI may not be issued for an animal that is not officially identified if official identification is required. If an animal is not required to be officially identified under a rule adopted by the board, the CVI must state the exemption that applies. If an animal is required to be officially identified, but the identification number does not have to be recorded on the CVI, the CVI must state that all animals to be moved under the CVI are officially identified.

(f) As an alternative to typing or writing individual animal identification on a CVI, another document may be used to provide this information under the following conditions:

(1) The document must be either a:

(A) state or USDA form that requires individual identification of animals; or

(B) printout of official identification numbers generated by a computer or other means approved by the state veterinarian.

(2) A legible copy of the document must be attached to the original and each copy of the CVI.

(3) Each copy of the document must:

(A) identify each animal to be moved with the CVI; and

(B) not contain any information pertaining to other animals.

(4) The following information must be included in the identification column on the original CVI and each copy of the CVI:

(A) The name of the document.

(B) Either the unique serial number on the document or, if the document is not imprinted with a serial number, both the name of the person who prepared the document and the date the document was signed.

(g) A veterinarian completing a CVI for animals located in Indiana shall file a copy of the CVI with the board not more than seven (7) calendar days after the document is completed. However, if a statute or rule requires a different time frame for submitting documents, the more specific requirement controls over the general requirements in this rule.

(h) An accredited veterinarian issuing a CVI or other interstate movement document in accordance with this section shall keep a copy of the CVI or alternate documentation. These documents must be kept for at least three (3) years, but the retention period for documents relating to:

(1) cattle;

(2) bison;

(3) sheep;

(4) goats;

(5) cervids; and

(6) equines;

is five (5) years.

Sec. 16.5. (a) For the purposes of this section the following apply:

(1) A swine production health plan for a swine production system must be designed to maintain the health of the swine and detect signs of communicable disease and must meet the following requirements:

(A) The plan must be in writing.

(B) The plan must identify all premises that are part of the swine production system that are in the state and that receive swine from outside the state or send swine out of the state.

(C) The plan must provide for inspections of identified premises by the swine production system accredited veterinarian at intervals not greater than thirty (30) days.

(D) The plan must describe the swine production system record keeping system.

(E) The plan must be signed by an official of each swine production system identified in the plan, the swine production system accredited veterinarian or veterinarians, a United States Department of Agriculture official, the state veterinarian, and a state animal health official from each state in which the swine production system has premises.

(2) A swine production system is a swine production enterprise that consists of multiple sites of production that are connected by ownership or contractual relationships, between which swine move while remaining under the control of a single owner or a group of contractually connected owners. However, slaughter plants and livestock markets are not part of a swine production system.

(b) A person may move swine into the state without a permit and certificate of veterinary inspection required under section 11 of this rule and without individual animal identification if the following requirements are met:

(1) The animals may not be moved to a livestock market or concentration point.

(2) The animals must be moved only to another premises identified in a valid swine production health plan for that swine production system. The swine production health plan for the swine production system must be approved by the state veterinarian and allow for the movement.

(3) The swine production system accredited veterinarian must have found the swine to be free from signs of any communicable disease during the most recent inspection of the originating premises. The inspection must have been within the thirty (30) days prior to movement.

(4) Prior to the movement, the person moving swine must deliver a report of the proposed movement to the swine production system accredited veterinarian for the premises of origin, the state animal health official for the state of origin, and the state veterinarian.

(5) During movement and after arriving at the destination premises, the swine may not be commingled with other swine in a manner that prevents identification of the premises of origin for each animal. Permanent marking of animals, physical separation, and any other effective means may be used to identify the premises of origin.

(6) The swine production system must keep the following records for not less than three (3) years:

(A) A copy of each swine production health plan signed by the producer.

(B) All interstate swine movement reports issued by the producer.

(C) All reports issued by the swine production system accredited veterinarian that document the health status of the swine on the premises.

(D) Records that will allow a state or federal official to trace any animal on the premises back to its previous premises.

(7) The swine health production system must allow state and federal officials access to the premises upon request to inspect animals and review records.

(1) A swine production system may withdraw one (1) or more of its premises from the swine production health plan by giving written notice to all parties signing the plan. The withdrawal shall be effective on the date specified in the notice.

(2) The state veterinarian may cancel the board's participation in a swine production health plan by giving written notice to all parties signing the plan. The state veterinarian may cancel state approval if the state veterinarian determines that it is necessary or helpful to protect animal or public health, or if the swine production system violates a law enforced by the board. The cancellation shall be effective on the date specified in the notice.
