Swine population. APHIS will collect information using several forms.

Need and use of the Information: The information collected through the Swine 2012 study will be analyzed and organized into descriptive reports and will be disseminated by APHIS to the producers, stakeholders, academia, veterinarians, and any other interested parties. The data collected will also be used to measure change over time from the previous NAHM’s Swine studies. Without this type of national data, the U.S.’ ability to detect trends in management, production, and health status that increases/decreases farm economy either directly or indirectly would be reduced to nonexistent.

Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.

Number of Respondents: 10,875. Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (one time).

Total Burden Hours: 11,728.
