UK producers have an ID advantage in the form of slap marking, but if marks are repeatedly illegible then the industry could lose this special EU derogation and would have to tag all pigs.
Make a habit of inspecting the slap marker and pins after every use, replacing any damaged parts straight away.
And if you don’t already, check the comments from the abattoir, slap marks need to be legible before and after slaughter!
For a quick refresher, see BPEX’s work instruction on slap marking.
