Once a program has been designated, an owner of an infected herd must, within thirty days after notification, adopt a herd cleanup plan or a feeder pig cooperator herd cleanup plan, as provided in section 166D.8. An infected herd which is not subject to a cleanup plan or a feeder pig cooperator herd cleanup plan is a quarantined herd.
1. When the department determines that a majority of herds within a program area have been tested the following shall apply:
a. The department shall require that all herds within the program area be tested within twelve months.
b. All herds not tested within twelve months shall only be moved directly to slaughter or to an approved premise as swine reacting positively to the test. The movement shall require notification of the department at least twenty-four hours before the movement by permit completed at the owner's expense.
c. Swine moving within or into the program area shall be reported to the department and identified by the herd of origin within ten days of movement. Swine moving into a program area may be inspected by the department within fifteen days of movement.
d. An owner of a quarantined herd has thirty days after the department's determination to petition the department for adoption of a herd cleanup plan or a feeder pig cooperator herd plan.
2. When the department determines that a majority of herds within a program area have been tested and a majority of herds reveal a noninfection rate of eighty percent or greater, the following shall apply:
a. A vaccine other than a differentiable vaccine shall not be used.
b. A concentration point within the program area may market all classes of swine. Swine taken to a concentration point must be held there until transfer. However, untested, known infected, or exposed swine shall be transferred from the concentration point within three days only to persons moving the swine outside the program area.
c. Only noninfected herd swine may move into the program area.
d. Swine herds within the area must be a qualified negative herd, a monitored herd, a qualified differentiable negative herd, or must be involved in a herd cleanup plan or feeder pig cooperator herd plan.
e. An approved premises inside the program area shall not be reapproved upon its annual renewal date.
f. At the commencement of the program and at intervals during the course of the program, the owner of a feeder pig cooperator herd may, according to rules adopted by the department, receive new swine from noninfected herds.
3. The cost, or any segment of the cost, of the program, testing, and vaccination may be paid for by federal or state funds or a combination of both. Federal or state funds shall not be paid to the owner of a vaccinated herd in a program area other than the owner of a herd using a differentiable vaccine. If federal or state funds are not available, producers may continue the program at their own expense under departmental supervision.
4. An additional program area shall not be established if funds sufficient for administration of the program within the area are not available. Program funds shall not be spent outside a program area, unless recommended by the advisory committee and approved by the department. However, this subsection does not apply to expenditures of funds for statewide surveillance or for enforcement of this chapter.
5. Upon the recommendation of the advisory committee, the department shall implement pilot projects to assist in the eventual eradication of pseudorabies or to lead to the designation of a program area.
