166D.8 Infected herds.

An infected herd in a program area shall either adopt a herd cleanup plan, a feeder pig cooperator herd plan, or shall be quarantined.

1. A herd cleanup plan may include any or a combination of the following:

a. The segregation of progeny with restricted movement.

b. The test and removal of infected swine from the herd.

c. Depopulation.

2. A feeder pig cooperator herd plan may be adopted if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

a. There must have been no clinical signs of pseudorabies during the past six months.

b. The production operation must be capable of segregating offspring at weaning into facilities separate and apart from the remainder of the herd.

c. An approved pseudorabies eradication plan must be implemented. However, swine from a feeder pig cooperator herd may be moved within Iowa without individual tests as feeder pigs of unknown origin.

3. Infected herds in a program area which have not adopted an official herd cleanup plan or feeder pig cooperator herd plan shall be quarantined.

4. Costs of program testing and vaccination shall be paid as provided in section 166D.5.

An infected herd outside a program area shall either adopt a herd cleanup plan or a feeder pig cooperator herd plan with restricted movement. An infected herd not subject to such a plan within thirty days of becoming a known infected herd shall be quarantined. An infected herd which is not subject to a herd cleanup plan or a feeder pig cooperator herd plan is a quarantined herd.
