The secretary may establish a reserve supply of biological products of approved modified live virus hog-cholera vaccine and of anti-hog-cholera serum or its equivalent in antibody concentrate to be used as directed by the secretary in the event of an emergency resulting from a hog-cholera outbreak. Vaccine and serum or antibody concentrate from the reserve supply, if used for such an emergency, shall be made available to swine producers at a price which will not result in a profit. Payment shall be made by the producer to the department and such vaccine shall be administered by a licensed practicing veterinarian. The secretary may co-operate with other states in the accumulation, maintenance and disbursement of such reserve supply of biological products. The secretary, with the advice and written consent of the chief of the division of animal industry of the state, and the advice and written consent of the veterinarian-in-charge in Iowa, animal health division, United States department of agriculture, shall determine when an emergency resulting from a hog-cholera outbreak exists.
The secretary is authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of such vaccine and serum at such time as the state is declared a hog-cholera-free state by the United States department of agriculture, or if the potency of such vaccine and serum is in doubt. Money received under provisions of this section shall be paid into the state treasury.
