166D.8 INFECTED HERDS.
An infected herd which is not quarantined under section 166D.9,
shall either adopt a herd cleanup plan or a feeder pig cooperator
herd cleanup plan.
1. a. A herd cleanup plan shall apply to a herd if feeder
pigs are not moved from the herd. The plan shall provide for one of
the following:
(1) The testing of all swine capable of being accurately
diagnosed with pseudorabies and the removal of infected swine from
the herd.
(2) Depopulation.
b. A herd cleanup plan must be implemented as follows:
(1) If the plan provides for the testing and removal of swine,
all breeding swine must be tested with a differentiable test and
react negatively to the test within fifteen days after the herd is
classified by the department as infected. All breeding swine
reacting positively to the test must be removed as provided in this
section. At least thirty days after removal of the breeding swine
reacting positively, all remaining breeding swine must be tested and
react negatively to the test. Subsequent testing and removal must be
conducted as provided in this subparagraph until all breeding swine
react negatively. When all breeding swine are tested and react
negatively to the test, the department shall classify the herd as a
noninfected herd.
(2) The herd cleanup plan may provide for the relocation of
feeder pigs or cull swine. If the plan provides for the relocation
of feeder pigs, the plan must provide for the segregation of feeder
pigs and identify in writing the approved premises where feeder pigs
or cull swine may be relocated upon approval by the department.
2. a. A feeder pig cooperator herd cleanup plan shall apply
to a herd if feeder pigs are moved from the herd. The plan shall
include all the requirements for a herd cleanup plan. In order to be
subject to a feeder pig cooperator herd cleanup plan all of the
following conditions must be satisfied:
(1) There must have been no clinical signs of pseudorabies during
the past thirty days.
(2) The production operation must be capable of segregating
offspring at weaning into facilities separate and apart from the
remainder of the herd.
b. The feeder pig cooperator herd cleanup plan may provide
for the movement or relocation of feeder pigs or cull swine. If the
feeder pig cooperator herd cleanup plan provides for the movement or
relocation of feeder pigs or cull swine, the plan must identify in
writing the approved premises where the feeder pigs or cull swine may
be moved or relocated as provided in section 166D.10B.
3. Costs of testing and vaccination may be paid as provided in
section 166D.11.
4. An infected herd not subject to a cleanup plan shall be
quarantined within fifteen days of becoming a known infected herd.
An infected herd which is not subject to a cleanup plan is a
quarantined herd.
5. Swine which are part of a herd subject to a cleanup plan shall
only be moved or relocated as required pursuant to section 166D.10.
If the location where the herd is kept is an approved premises as
provided in section 166D.10B, the cleanup plan shall include terms
and conditions for being certified as an approved premises. Section History: Recent Form
