INTRODUCTION
[Rephrase in your own words.]
We would like to ask you some more questions about the hogs and pigs, regardless of ownership, on the land you operate.
To understand important issues in the hog industry, we need to obtain information about the health status of your hogs and
swine health problems you may have had, as well as about productivity and management.
You may find it easier to answer some of the questions if you have your records available. Response is voluntary and not
required by law. However, your report is needed to make Regional and National estimates as accurate as possible.

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 0579. The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 1.0 hours per response, including
the time to review instructions, search existing data resources, gather the data needed, and complete and review the

SAMPLE UNIT DEFINITION
Now I would like to determine the number of distinct production sites on which you raise hogs or pigs. For the purposes of
this study a site may consist of facilities in proximity to one another and operated as one unit while separate sites might
consist of facilities at different physical locations.
1. Do you raise hogs at more than one production site?
YES [Enter code 1 and continue]

Code

NO [Enter code 3 and go to Section 1]. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

2. On how many separate production sites were your hogs located on June 1, 2006?
Number of Sites
(Contractee locations where hogs are raised for you as a contractor should be excluded.). . . . . . . . 0103
.

3. Of these sites, how many had:

a. Only sows and gilts for breeding?. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
b. Only other hogs and pigs? (no sows or gilts for breeding). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
c.

Both sows and gilts for breeding and other hogs and pigs together?. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[ENUMERATOR NOTE: The total of 3a + 3b + 3c should equal the number in the box for item 2]
Now I would like to select a maximum of three sites for further questions. [Go to the Site Selection Form and use the
random-number table to select the sites and complete a questionnaire for each selected site.]
SECTION 1:

SWINE INVENTORY [Site and/or Operation]

[ENUMERATOR NOTE: If only one production site, complete column for operation inventory and leave column
for site inventory blank. If multiple sites, complete both the operation and site inventory columns.]

how many were:
