Text

The department may destroy or require the destruction of any swine which the state
veterinarian knows to be, or suspects is, affected with or exposed to classical swine fever,
whenever the department finds such destruction to be necessary to prevent or reduce the
danger of the spread of classical swine fever. Disposal of condemned swine shall be under
the supervision of a regulatory employee. Salvage of apparently healthy marketable swine
is permissible as a minimum provision and may be discontinued in favor of total herd
disposition with indemnification as necessary and without such salvage in any case or at
any time when it is determined by the department and the United States department of
agriculture that the procedure would constitute an undue threat to the eradication program.

whenever the department finds such destruction to be necessary to prevent or reduce the
danger of the spread of classical swine fever. Disposal of condemned swine shall be under
the supervision of a regulatory employee. Salvage of apparently healthy marketable swine
is permissible as a minimum provision and may be discontinued in favor of total herd
disposition with indemnification as necessary and without such salvage in any case or at
any time when it is determined by the department and the United States department of
agriculture that the procedure would constitute an undue threat to the eradication program.
Before being condemned and ordered to be destroyed, a positive diagnosis of classical swine
fever affecting the herd must be confirmed by a state or federal laboratory or personnel
approved by the department and the United States department of agriculture.
