The arrangements for marking the animals or for identifying the holdings referred to above shall be determined by the competent authorities, all persons engaged in the transport or marketing of pigs are able to supply the competent authority with information concerning the movements of pigs which they have transported or marketed, and to furnish proof of such movements ; the same obligation shall be incumbent on all persons keeping pigs in respect of the pigs entering or leaving their holding.
