Pig Farm Audits: The Common Swine Industry Audit
Altura Ag Solutions performs and verifies CSIA audits for pork producers across the country — with certified auditors who make audit day feel like a working farm visit, not an inspection raid.
The Farm-Level Standard
Hog Farm Audits Without the Guesswork
One common audit, applied by auditors who know how real farms run.
The National Pork Board's Common Swine Industry Audit is how pork producers prove responsible animal care to packers, retailers, and customers. Our certified auditors have experience in both performing CSIA audits and verifying them, making sure your audit reports accurately reflect the hard work put in.
With 50+ combined years in farm management, processing, animal welfare, and supply chain protocols, we treat you and your crew as partners in the process. Caretaker interviews can run in English or Spanish, findings are explained on site in plain terms, and the report you receive is one your packer will find clear and accurate.

Where Farms Lose Points
CSIA Findings We Help Producers Prevent
Most failed audits trace back to a handful of preventable gaps. These are the ones we see most.
-
Incomplete Training Records
Caretakers doing the job right, with no paperwork proving they were trained to do it.
-
Outdated Written Protocols
Euthanasia and treatment SOPs that no longer match what actually happens in the barn.
-
Daily Observation Gaps
Missed or unrecorded daily checks — an easy fix that costs real audit points.
-
Medication Log Mismatches
Treatment records that don't line up with inventory, raising flags that spread doubt.
-
Timid Interview Answers
Crews who know the work but freeze in interviews — bilingual auditing closes that gap.
