Here We Explain Why You Need A CPH Number

Firstly it is illegal to keep a pet pig without a CPH number, you must have one and we need to see the original paperwork, otherwise the piglet cannot leave us.

CPH stands for "County Parish Holding" it is needed in case of disease outbreak so the authorities can track who has pigs and where.  A CPH number is issued by RPA "Rural Payments Agency", they will generally ask you for your address and how many pigs you will have on your land and some other questions.

Everyone who buys micro pigs from us must have a CPH (County Parish Holding) number, this is free, it takes up to 2 weeks for it to come through, you can visit them here RPA GOV HOME PAGE or telephone on 0845 603 7777 

Once you get your piglet home you should inform your local animal health department, they will then send you your own herd number.  We will provide you with all the information you need to do this
