Kan. Admin. Regs. § 9-17-2 - Qualified pseudorabies negative herd

(a) Qualified pseudorabies negative herd status shall be attained by subjecting all swine over six months of age to an official pseudorabies test and finding all swine so tested to be negative. Each herd shall not have been a known infected herd within the last 30 days before the test. Ninety percent of the swine in the herd shall have been on the premises for at least 50 days prior to testing.

(b) Each qualified pseudorabies negative herd status shall be maintained by subjecting all swine in the herd over six months of age to an official pseudorabies test at least once each year. This shall be accomplished by:

(1)

(A) testing 25 per cent of the swine over six months of age, every 80-105 days with negative results for all tested; or

(B) testing 10 per cent of the herd each month with negative results for all tested; and

(2) finding the entire herd negative for pseudorabies as a result of tests performed in paragraph (1) (A) and (B).

(c) All swine to be added to a qualified negative herd shall be isolated until they have passed two official negative tests. The first test shall be conducted 30 days or more after the start of isolation. The second test shall be conducted 30 days or more after the first test. Any modification of these requirements shall have prior approval from the livestock commissioner.
