thirty days after removal of the positive swine, breeding swine remaining plus a random
sample equaling twenty-eight of grower-finishing swine more than two months of age must
react negatively to the test. While the state is in stage III or IV of the national pseudorabies
program pursuant to federal regulations, the grower-finisher swine must react negatively to
a test at least thirty days after reacting negatively to the last test.

pursuant to federal regulations, the following requirements must be satisfied:
(1) All swine present on the date the quarantine was imposed have been removed.
(2) There must have been no clinical signs of pseudorabies in the herd for at least six
months.
(3) The epidemiologist must either conduct two successive statistical samplings at
least ninety days apart, or conduct statistical samplings according to rules adopted by the
7 PSEUDORABIES CONTROL, §166D.10
department which are consistent with the national pseudorabies eradication program, which
reveal no infection within the new breeding swine.
(4) The epidemiologist must either conduct two successive statistical samplings ninety
days apart, or conduct statistical samplings according to rules adopted by the department
which are consistent with the national pseudorabies eradication program, which reveal no
infection in the herd’s progeny at least four months of age.
b. A herd removed from quarantine under this subsection shall be tested by statistical
sampling one year later, unless an epidemiologist determines that the herd must be tested
earlier.
