  3 45    Sec. 11.  Section 166D.8, Code 1999, is amended to
  3 46 read as follows:
  3 47    166D.8  INFECTED HERDS.

  4  3 combination of the following:
  4  4    (1)  The segregation of progeny with restricted
  4  5 movement.  The herd cleanup plan must include the
  4  6 location of the premises that will receive the
  4  7 progeny.  The receiving premises shall be quarantined.
  4  8    (2)  The test shall apply to a herd, if feeder pigs
  4  9 are not moved from the herd.  The plan shall provide
  4 10 for one of the following:
  4 11    (1)  The testing of all swine capable of being
  4 12 accurately diagnosed with pseudorabies and the removal
  4 13 of infected swine from the herd.
  4 14    (3) (2)  Depopulation.
  4 15    b.  Notwithstanding paragraph "a", breeding swine
  4 16 in an infected herd shall be tested and the infected
  4 17 breeding swine shall be removed from the infected herd
  4 18 in accordance with procedures and by dates established
  4 19 by rules adopted by the department. A herd cleanup
  4 20 plan must be implemented as follows:
  4 21    (1)  If the plan provides for the testing and
  4 22 removal of swine, all breeding swine must be tested
  4 23 with a differentiable test and react negatively to the
  4 24 test within fifteen days after the herd is classified
  4 25 by the department as infected.  All breeding swine
  4 26 reacting positively to the test must be removed as
  4 27 provided in this section.  At least thirty days after
  4 28 removal of the breeding swine reacting positively, all
  4 29 remaining breeding swine must be tested and react
  4 30 negatively to the test.  Subsequent testing and
  4 31 removal must be conducted as provided in this
  4 32 subparagraph until all breeding swine react
  4 33 negatively.  When all breeding swine are tested and
  4 34 react negatively to the test, the department shall
  4 35 classify the herd as a noninfected herd.
  4 36    (2)  The herd cleanup plan may provide for the
  4 37 relocation of feeder pigs or cull swine.  If the plan
  4 38 provides for the relocation of feeder pigs, the plan
  4 39 must provide for the segregation of feeder pigs and
  4 40 identify in writing the approved premises where feeder
  4 41 pigs or cull swine may be relocated upon approval by
  4 42 the department.

  4 44 may be adopted if shall apply to a herd, if feeder
  4 45 pigs are moved from the herd.  The plan shall include

  4 48 cleanup plan all of the following conditions are must
  4 49 be satisfied:
  4 50    a. (1)  There must have been no clinical signs of
  5  1 pseudorabies during the past thirty days.

  5  6 must be implemented.  The feeder pig cooperator herd
  5  7 cleanup plan must include the location of may provide
  5  8 for the movement or relocation of feeder pigs or cull
  5  9 swine.  If the feeder pig cooperator herd cleanup plan
  5 10 provides for the movement or relocation of feeder pigs
  5 11 or cull swine, the plan must identify in writing the
  5 12 approved premises that will receive the progeny where
  5 13 the feeder pigs or cull swine may be moved or
  5 14 relocated as provided in section 166D.10B.  The
  5 15 receiving premises shall be quarantined.
  5 16    3.  Infected herds in a program area which have not
  5 17 adopted an official herd cleanup plan or feeder pig
  5 18 cooperator herd plan shall be quarantined.
  5 19    4. 3.  Costs of program testing and vaccination
  5 20 shall may be paid as provided in section 166D.5
  5 21 166D.11.
  5 22    4.  An infected herd outside a program area shall
  5 23 either adopt a herd cleanup plan or a feeder pig
  5 24 cooperator herd plan with restricted movement.  An
  5 25 infected herd not subject to such a cleanup plan shall
  5 26 be quarantined within thirty fifteen days of becoming
  5 27 a known infected herd shall be quarantined.  An
  5 28 infected herd which is not subject to a herd cleanup
  5 29 plan or a feeder pig cooperator herd plan is a
  5 30 quarantined herd.

  8 35 this subparagraph shall be tested using a
  8 36 differentiable test within thirty days after the swine
  8 37 is moved to a herd in this state.  If a swine reacts
  8 38 positively to the test, the herd is an infected herd.
  8 39 A person is not required to vaccinate swine prior to
  8 40 moving swine into the stage II county or test the

  9  2 paragraph, the following shall apply:
  9  3    (i)  For swine other than swine moved into a herd
  9  4 within a stage II county as an isowean feeder pig, a
  9  5 statistical sampling of the swine moved into the herd
  9  6 shall be tested using a differentiable test within
  9  7 forty-eight hours after the swine moves to a herd in
  9  8 this state.  If a swine reacts positively to the test,
  9  9 the herd is an infected herd.  If, according to the
  9 10 statistical sampling, the swine moved into the herd
  9 11 reacts negatively to the test, all moved swine must be
  9 12 immediately vaccinated with a differentiable vaccine,
  9 13 as provided in section 166D.11.  The swine shall be
  9 14 considered as part of a herd of unknown status, until
  9 15 tested negative and vaccinated.
  9 16    (ii)  For swine moved into a herd within a stage II
