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.
Fairs, exhibitions, and shows may have additional requirements. Be sure to consult the event rules. Requirements are subject to change as conditions warrant.
Commercial swine — including menagerie pigs if animals owned by multiple people are present, rodeo side show, circus pigs, racing pigs, pet pigs, rescue pigs, and sanctuary pigs — moving within Wisconsin to a fair, exhibition, show, or other event must have the following:
- Certificate of veterinary inspection (CVI)
- Include the complete physical origin and physical destination address
- Official identification is not required unless required by individual fairs/exhibitions/shows. A statement from the issuing veterinarian that they have inspected the entire herd of origin within the past 30 days before the show and that no apparent disease was present at the time of inspection.
- No testing or herd plans required.
