(2) the place of origin of the swine; this shall be specific as to the address where the swine were originally loaded. If the consignor, or his agent, refuses to give complete information as to the origin of the swine, and as otherwise required, the swine shall not be eligible to sell, and shall be quarantined on the premises of the public livestock market;

(3) the make or manufacturer of the delivering vehicle;

(4) the registration or license number of delivering vehicle; the state of issuance, and year of issuance, of the registration or license tag shall be shown;
