Effective March 22, the change in animal health regulations made it possible to pay up to |4OO for purebred and breeding swine, and up to $2OO for top quality market hogs. The previous maximums were $2OO and $lOO, respectively. Officials of USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) said the change will bring maximum permitted idemnity limits into line with current market prices-- especially for the higher quality animals.

If isolated cases occur in states classified as “hog cholera free,” the federal share is 90 percent and the state’s share is 10 percent. In other states, the federal share is 75 per cent. APHIS officials point out, however, that in order for the federal government to pay either the 90 or 75 per cent of indemnities to producers, the states must require that all feeder or breeder swine shipped through markets be in dividually identified. This requirement enables animal health officials to trace animals back to their herds of origin should hog cholera be detected.
