Sec. 7.
(a) The
				state veterinarian may release the Pseudorabies quarantine placed on an
				infected swine herd when all animals that have tested positive for Pseudorabies
				have been removed from the premises, no animal on the quarantined premises
				shows signs of Pseudorabies infection, and at least one (1) of the following
				sets of requirements is completed:
(1)
				Complete depopulation of the infected herd occurs meaning that all swine in the
				herd are removed from the premises and delivered for slaughter. The premises is
				cleaned and disinfected under the direction of the state veterinarian. No swine
				have been on the premises for thirty (30) continuous days following the
				completion of cleaning and disinfecting. The state veterinarian may approve
				release of a quarantine in less than thirty (30) days after cleaning and
				disinfecting if doing so advances Pseudorabies eradication.
(2) Complete depopulation of the infected
				herd meaning that all swine in the herd are removed from the premises and
				delivered for slaughter. No swine have been on the premises for a period of not
				less than ninety (90) continuous days from the date the depopulation is
				complete. Cleaning and disinfecting is not required if a veterinary
				epidemiologist or the state veterinarian determines that Pseudorabies
				eradication will be advanced by releasing the quarantine without cleaning and
				disinfecting at the site.
(3)
				Progeny under eight (8) weeks of age may be weaned, isolated from a quarantined
				herd under direction and supervision of the state veterinarian and pass two (2)
				negative official Pseudorabies tests or approved differential Pseudorabies
				tests not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days apart. However,
				the first qualifying test will be conducted on pigs three (3) months of age or
				over. The first test must be a complete test, and the second test must be at
				least the designated percentage of animals as outlined in section 8.5(a) of
				this rule. The swine herd is eligible for qualified Pseudorabies-negative herd
				status if the second negative test is a complete test of the
				population.
(4) All swine positive
				to an approved differential or official Pseudorabies test are removed from the
				premises. The premises are cleaned to the extent feasible. The remaining swine
				in the herd are tested as follows:
(A) Not
				less than thirty (30) days after the Pseudorabies-infected swine are removed
				and the premises is cleaned, all swine over six (6) months of age must test
				negative for Pseudorabies, and an official random sample of thirty (30) swine
				between two (2) and six (6) months of age must test negative for
				Pseudorabies.
(B) Between thirty
				(30) and sixty (60) days after the tests required under clause (A) are
				completed, an official random sample of swine over six (6) months of age must
				test negative for Pseudorabies. An official random sample of swine between two
				(2) and six (6) months of age must test negative for Pseudorabies. The exact
				number of animals to be tested shall be determined under section 8.5(a) of this
				rule. Additional negative herd tests may also be required. Infected herds
				become eligible for qualified Pseudorabies-negative herd status if two (2)
				complete herd tests have been conducted on all swine over six (6) months of age
				plus two (2) random samples of progeny two (2) to six (6) months of age and all
				swine tested are negative. The two (2) tests must be at least thirty (30) days
				apart.
(5) All swine
				present on the date the herd was quarantined for Pseudorabies have been
				removed, and there have been no clinical signs of Pseudorabies infection in the
				herd for at least six (6) months. Two (2) successive random tests of a
				percentage of the herd over six (6) months of age and of a percentage of the
				progeny over four (4) months of age have been determined to reveal no
				Pseudorabies infection. The two (2) tests must be at least ninety (90) days
				apart. The percentage of animals to be tested shall be determined under section
				8.5(a) of this rule. Herds released from Pseudorabies quarantine under this
				subdivision must be tested for Pseudorabies and test negative using a
				percentage test one (1) year after the quarantine is released. This subdivision
				applies only to parts of the state classified Stage I, Stage II, and Stage III
				under the Program Standards.
(6)
				High risk herds may be released from quarantine when a percentage of the swine
				in the herd are tested and found negative for Pseudorabies. The percentage of
				animals to be tested shall be determined under section 8.5(a) of this
				rule.
(7) In swine herds that
				contain no breeding swine and that do not receive swine from any premises
				quarantined for Pseudorabies, one (1) of the following sets of requirements are
				met:
(A) The herd is depopulated meaning that
				all swine in the herd are removed from the premises and delivered for
				slaughter. The premises is cleaned and disinfected and at least seven (7) days
				pass after cleaning and disinfecting before any animals are moved onto the
				premises. The herd tests negative for Pseudorabies infection using an official
				random sample test (95/10) under the Program Standards conducted at least
				thirty (30) days after the depopulation was completed.
(B) The herd tests negative for Pseudorabies
				infection twice, the first test an official random sample test (95/5) under the
				Program Standards, the second test conducted at least thirty (30) days
				following the first test and must be an official random sample test (95/10)
				under the Program Standards.
