(i) Requirements for continuous flow feeder facilities
in which there are no breeding animals on the premises. When provisions
of the State-Federal-Industry Program Standards for Pseudorabies Eradication
require surveillance testing of these feeder facilities for advancement
of the state to the next stage of the eradication program, one of
the following methods will be used to satisfy this requirement.
(1) Collection of blood from a random sample of swine
in the feeder facility in the following representation:
(A) less than 100 head in the feeder facility--test
25;
(B) 100-200 head--test 27;
(C) 201-999 head--test 28;
(D) 1,000 head and over--test 29.
(2) Collection of blood from swine consigned from a
feeder facility at slaughter using the criteria shown in paragraph
(1) of this subsection, to determine the number of swine to be tested.
(j) Owner assistance. If ordered by the commission
or its representative, the owner or caretaker of swine shall submit
the swine and furnish labor and facilities used in normal operation
in order that the swine may be tested, vaccinated, or otherwise handled
in accordance with this chapter.
