166D.11 VACCINATION AND TESTING REQUIREMENTS.
1. A person shall not use in this state any vaccine that is not a
differentiable vaccine.
2. a. Except as provided in this section, swine within a
county which is designated by the department as in stage II of the
national pseudorabies eradication program shall be vaccinated with a
modified-live differentiable vaccine. The swine located in a stage
II county shall be vaccinated as follows:
(1) Except as provided in subparagraph (2), the following
applies:
(a) Breeding swine shall at a minimum receive quarterly
vaccinations.
(b) Feeder swine shall at a minimum receive one vaccination. The
feeder swine shall be vaccinated when the feeder swine reach eight to
twelve weeks of age or one hundred pounds, whichever occurs earlier.
(2) If swine are required to be vaccinated prior to or after
movement, as provided in section 166D.10, to a stage II county, the
swine shall be vaccinated with a modified-live differentiable vaccine
as otherwise required in that section.
b. The department shall adopt rules or issue an order that
exempts swine from being vaccinated with a modified-live vaccine, as
provided in this subsection, based on any of the following:
(1) The swine is part of a qualified negative herd or a qualified
differentiable negative herd.
(2) The swine belong to a herd located within a county, if all of
the following apply:
(a) The county has a history of zero percent prevalence of
infection among all herds in the county, regardless of whether the
county currently has a higher than zero percent prevalence of
infection among all herds in the county.
(b) All contiguous counties have a zero percent prevalence of
infection among herds in that county, as designated by the
department.
3. a. The person who owns the swine when the swine is
required to be vaccinated under this chapter shall be solely liable
for providing the vaccine and administering the vaccination. A
noninfected feeder pig required to be vaccinated upon arrival at an
approved premises as provided in section 166D.10B shall be vaccinated
at the expense of the owner who moves the feeder pig. If the swine
is transported into this state, the owner shall be deemed to be the
person who owns the swine immediately prior to transportation.
b. This subsection does not prohibit the owner of swine from
contracting with a person, including a person receiving ownership of
swine moved into this state, to provide the vaccination, if the
person receives fair compensation for providing the vaccination and
the sale price for the swine is not increased because the owner must
comply with this subsection.
4. The cost, or any segment of the cost, of purchasing a
laboratory product used for testing and vaccination provided in this
chapter may be paid for by federal or state funds or a combination of
both. Federal or state funds shall not be paid to the owner of a
vaccinated herd other than the owner of a herd vaccinated with a
modified-live differentiable vaccine. Section History: Recent Form
