What other regulations do I need to know? You need to register with your local branch of DEFRA, who will give you a holding  number. To move any pig from one premise to another you require a movement licence. Failure  to do this will result in a very heavy fine. You must also keep a book with all  pig movements listed in it. Another book listing medications given must be kept  if you are going to use pigs for meat. To get a certificate to exercise your pet  you must: a) specify a route that you will be using b) keep your pet on a lead at  all times when exercising or moving it;
