For swine which is exposedor swine from a herd of1 4unknown status, a person shall not move or relocate the swine, 1 5 unless one of the following applies: 1 6 (1) The swine reacts negatively to a differentiable test 1 7 within thirty days prior to moving or relocating the swine. 1 8 (2) The swine moves by restricted movement to either a 1 9 fixed concentration point or slaughtering establishment. 1 10 Sec. 2. Section 166D.10, subsection 3, Code 2001, is 1 11 amended by adding the following new paragraph after paragraph 1 12 b, and relettering the subsequent paragraph: 1 13 NEW PARAGRAPH. bb. For swine from a herd of unknown 1 14 status, a person shall not move or relocate the swine, unless 1 15 one of the following applies: 1 16 (1) The swine reacts negatively to a differentiable test 1 17 within thirty days prior to moving or relocating the swine. 1 18 (2) The swine moves by restricted movement to either a 1 19 fixed concentration point or slaughtering establishment. 1 20 However, the swine is not required to move by restricted 1 21 movement, if the swine is moved from a fixed concentration 1 22 point directly to a slaughtering establishment. 1 23 Sec. 3. Section 166D.10, subsection 4, paragraph b, 1 24 subparagraph (2), subparagraph subdivision (a), Code 2001, is 1 25 amended to read as follows: 1 26 (a) Except as provided in this subparagraph, the owner of 1 27 swine shall vaccinate the swine with a modified-live 1 28 differentiable vaccine, prior to moving swine into the stage 1 29 II county.A statistical sampling of the swine moved into a1 30herd as provided in this subparagraph shall be tested using a1 31differentiable test within thirty days after the swine is1 32moved to a herd in this state. If a swine reacts positively1 33to the test, the herd is an infected herd.A person is not 1 34 required to vaccinate swine prior to moving swine into the 1 35 stage II countyor test the swine after the swine has been2 1moved to a herd in the stage II county, if one of the 2 2 following applies: 2 3 Sec. 4. Section 166D.10, subsection 4, paragraph b, 2 4 subparagraph (2), subparagraph subdivision (b), subparagraph 2 5 subdivision parts (i) and (ii), Code 2001, are amended to read 2 6 as follows: 2 7 (i) For swine other than swine moved into a herd within a 2 8 stage II county as an isowean feeder pig,a statistical2 9sampling of the swine moved into the herd shall be tested2 10using a differentiable test within forty-eight hours after the2 11swine moves to a herd in this state. If a swine reacts2 12positively to the test, the herd is an infected herd. If,2 13according to the statistical sampling, the swine moved into2 14the herd reacts negatively to the test, all movedthe swine 2 15 must be immediately vaccinated with a differentiable vaccine, 2 16 as provided in section 166D.11. The swine shall be considered 2 17 as part of a herd of unknown status, until tested negative and 2 18 vaccinated. 2 19 (ii) For swine moved into a herd within a stage II county 2 20 as an isowean feeder pig,a statistical sampling of the swine2 21moved into the herd shall be tested using a differentiable2 22test when a majority of swine moved together into the herd as2 23isowean feeder pigs reach a weight of more than twenty pounds.2 24If a swine reacts positively to the test, the herd is an2 25infected herd. If, according to the statistical sampling, the2 26swine moved into the herd react negatively to the test, all2 27 the swine moved into the herd must be immediately vaccinated 2 28 with a differentiable vaccine, as provided in section 166D.11. 2 29 The department may require that the swine be revaccinated with 2 30 a differentiable vaccine at a later date. The swine shall be 2 31 considered as part of a herd of unknown status, until tested 2 32 negative and vaccinated. 2 33 Sec. 5. Section 166D.10, subsection 6, Code 2001, is 2 34 amended to read as follows: 2 35 6. Known infected swine moved through a fixed 3 1 concentration point, other than a buying station of a3 2slaughtering establishment,shall only be moved by restricted 3 3 movement to a slaughtering establishment. 3 4 Sec. 6. Section 166D.12, subsection 2, paragraph c, Code 3 5 Supplement 2001, is amended to read as follows: 3 6 c. (1)AExcept as provided in subparagraph (2), a person 3 7 shall not move swine subject to restricted movement to or from 3 8 a fixed concentration point or receive swine subject to 3 9 restricted movement at a fixed concentration point, unless the 3 10 swine is moved and received in compliance with section 3 11 166D.10A. 3 12 (2) A person may move swine from a herd of unknown status 3 13 from a fixed concentration point other than by restricted 3 14 movement as provided in section 166D.10A, if the person moves 3 15 the swine directly to a slaughtering establishment. 3 16 EXPLANATION 3 17 This bill amends provisions in Code chapter 166D providing 3 18 for pseudorabies control in swine herds. The department of 3 19 agriculture and land stewardship administers the Code chapter 3 20 in conjunction with regulations promulgated by the United 3 21 States department of agriculture. 3 22 In 2000, the general assembly enacted Senate File 2312 3 23 (2000 Iowa Acts, chapter 1110) providing comprehensive changes 3 24 to the Code chapter, including providing for the movement of 3 25 swine and the testing and vaccination of swine. These new 3 26 requirements include vaccination requirements for swine in a 3 27 county designated by the department as in stage II of the 3 28 national pseudorabies eradication program. The changes 3 29 enacted by Senate File 2313 also provide that unless a fixed 3 30 concentration point belongs to a slaughtering establishment 3 31 (i.e., a buying station), the swine subject to restricted 3 32 movement must be moved to and from a fixed concentration point 3 33 according to strict requirements. For example, swine required 3 34 to be moved by restricted movement must be accompanied by a 3 35 permit. Code section 166D.12 provides that a fixed 4 1 concentration point cannot be used for the movement of swine 4 2 other than to a slaughtering establishment. A person who is 4 3 required to move swine by restricted movement must transport 4 4 the swine to either a fixed concentration point or 4 5 slaughtering establishment or move or relocate the swine to an 4 6 approved premises. 4 7 The bill amends Code section 166D.10 which regulates the 4 8 movement of swine. The Code section provides that swine may 4 9 always be moved to a fixed concentration point or slaughtering 4 10 establishment. Swine originating from a noninfected herd 4 11 outside this state may be moved into a stage II county, if the 4 12 swine is vaccinated, prior to movement or in some instances 4 13 (such as for isowean feeder pigs) after movement. The Code 4 14 section requires that for swine moved into a stage II county, 4 15 a test based on a statistical sampling of the swine moved into 4 16 a herd within a stage II county must be conducted. The bill 4 17 eliminates the testing requirement. 4 18 Code section 166D.10 also provides that known infected 4 19 swine moved though a fixed concentration point must be moved 4 20 by restricted movement to a slaughtering establishment. The 4 21 Code section provides one exception for buying stations. This 4 22 bill eliminates that exception. 4 23 The bill amends Code sections 166D.10 and 166D.12 4 24 prohibiting a person from moving swine subject to restricted 4 25 movement to or from a fixed concentration point, unless the 4 26 swine is moved in compliance with the requirements for 4 27 restricted movement under Code section 166D.10A. This bill 4 28 provides that a person may move swine from a fixed 4 29 concentration point absent requirements of restricted 4 30 movement, if the swine is moved directly to a slaughtering 4 31 establishment. 4 32 Under Code section 166D.16, a person who violates a 4 33 provision of the Code chapter is subject to a civil penalty of 4 34 at least $100 but not more than $1,000. A person who owns 4 35 swine when the swine is required to be vaccinated is subject 5 1 to a civil penalty of $2 for each swine that is not vaccinated 5 2 as required. 5 3 LSB 6861HC 79 5 4 da/pj/5
