Commercial swine -- including pet pigs, rescue pigs, and sanctuary pigs -- moving within Wisconsin generally must have the following:
Testing for Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) and Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDv) is required as follows:
Negative tests of herd of origin* within 90 days prior to movement – no restrictions on movement. Documentation of the negative test results must be made available upon request.
Positive tests for either PRRS or PEDv of herd of origin* within 90 days prior to movement. The herd will be quarantined until a herd plan is established and approved. Movement can take place in accordance with the herd plan.
If no test for either PRRS or PEDv has been done within 90 days prior to movement, the animals are not allowed to move except to slaughter, to a market at which all swine on the premises on the day of the sale are going directly to slaughter, or terminal fairs/exhibitions/shows.
No movement documentation such as a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (health certificate or CVI) is required (except if moving to a fair/exhibition/show as noted in that section).
Official identification is not required.
See main
swine movement page for other specific movements.
* Herd of origin refers to the current herd with the current owner. The current herd of origin will be required to have had a test within 90 days of movement. If the current herd hasn't had a test before new pigs are added, that herd will need to be tested to be able to move pigs even if the newly added animals came from a herd that was already tested.
