DATCP Issues Waiver from PRRS and PEDv Requirements
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection has issued a waiver to testing requirements and movement restrictions related to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDv) in Wis. Admin. Code chs. ATCP 10 and 12.
Swine moving into and within Wisconsin are no longer required to be tested for PRRS and PEDv as a result of this waiver. Import permits are no longer required for untested swine imported into Wisconsin. CVIs and official identification are still required. The waiver is effective immediately and can be
accessed online.
Reminder: Chapter 10 rules (ATCP 10.87) for records and documentation apply to organizers and exhibitors at livestock/poultry exhibitions, fairs, shows, and other organized events. The waiver referenced above removes the requirements for records of swine moving to markets or slaughter facilities from the event.
Fairs, exhibitions, and shows may have additional requirements. Be sure to consult the event rules. Requirements are subject to change as conditions warrant.
