E2-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 18, 1995 A column to update hog producers on the Pennsylvania Pseudorabies Eradication Program. PENNSYLVANIA PRV QUARANTINE HERD STATUS Amy J. Nesselrodt, DVM USDA, APHIS, VS The Pennsylvania Pseudorabies eradication effort has made great strides in the last two years. After the winter of 1992, Pennsylvania was at an all-time high, with more than 140 quarantined herds. How ever, since that time, Pennsylvania has begun a coordinated effort to eradicate pseudorabies from the state. The effort has been paying off. Currently, we have 68 quaran tined herds. Of those herds, 62 or 90 percent of them have developed an approved herd plan. A herd plan is an outline of vaccination, biose curity, and testing measures that Forest Industry LEBANON (Lebanon Co.) The Hardwood Lumber Manufacturers Association of Pennsylvania (HLMA) has moved its Annual Forest Products Industry Equip ment and Technology Exposition to Clearfield and changed its tradi tional August dates to May 12-13. The changes were made in response to many requests received from both exhibitors and attendees. Interior and exterior exhibit space will feature products, ser vices and equipment, with demon strations and hands-on activities for attendees. ‘The new location and dates should assure a high level of parti cipation by exhibitors and record attendance by HLMA’s mem bers,” said Rick Rufo, Timber ’95 Chairman. “The exhibitors with whom we have talked are very enthusiastic.” Two important educational programs will be presented at sev eral times during the two-day exposition.

Most Pen nsylvania herd plans are “Phased Test and Removal.” Vaccine is used to prevent spread within the herd or to neighbors. Infected ani mals are slowly rolled over and replaced with negative vaccinated ones. Finishers arc cleaned up with vaccine and/or changes in manage ment, such as moving to all-in/all out. Once the herd is negative, it is tested off of quarantine. Of the herds currently on quarantine, 26 should be ready to come off within the next 12 months. Occasionally, a producer will decide to depopulate when his herd is found to have pseudorabies. Depopulation is usually chosen when there are other health prob lems in the herd and/or for eco nomic reasons. Currently, there are Expo In May “The New OSHA Logging Safety Standards” will explore details of the regulations which went into effect Feb. 9 and provide develop ments on the provisions which have been put on hold. “It is imper ative that loggers and companies employing or contracting with log gers be fully informed as to the sig nificance of these regulations and how they impact business,” said Rufo. Another seminar, “Transporta tion Inspection/Weighing,” is being brought back to Timber ’9S by popular demand, but it will offer updates to the new law con cerning overseas shipment con tainers. According to Rufo, “Com panies which own, operate, and depend on trucks will benefit from this seminar and the demonstra tions.” For more information, contact Kent Fox, executive director.

Besides looking at the number of quarantined herds, examining how many herds'are still circulat ing virus is important The “circu lating virus” classification means that either new additions are get ting infected or there is infection on the grow/finish floor. Only hods which are circulating virus pose a potential threat to the close neighborhood farms. Sixteen of Pennsylvania’s quarantined herds arc currently known to be circulat ing vims. Forty-two herds are not. The remaining (11) herds have not had a test recently enough to fairly assess this. This year, Pennsylvania will be undertaking an area testing prog ram. We are doing this for two rea sons. One is to determine the true prevalence of pseudorabies in the endemic area. Pennsylvania does test sows and boars at slaughter, but this will give extra assurance that we are truly locating all infected herds, including finishers. The other reason we are doing area testing is to protect the herds which are cleaning up or have cleaned up from getting reinfected. If the neighborhood status is unknown, it is difficult to determine what risk a herd is under for reinfection. Also, until a herd is known to be carrying pseudorabies vims, it won’t be able to begin a cleanup program. Will Pennsylvania continue to make positive progress? The answer to this depends on a num ber of factors. The credit for the progress we have made so far can be given to those producers who worked hard and have cleaned up or are in the process of cleaning up their herds. Credit may also be given to our swine veterinarians who have advised and assisted their clients throughout the clean up plans. Barriers to progress unfortu nately also exist. One barrier to progress is the few producers who 1 are unwilling to clean up. By not moving forward with the group, ‘they threaten the success of their neighbors and all of Pennsylvania. Fortunately, this is only a small number of producers. Another barrier to progress is the potential for spread of virus from infected herds. This could happen by area spread (aerosol spread) or by movement of infected animals or equipment. We can all help prevent this form of setback by practicing excellent (fanatical!) biosecurity and vacci nating our herds. Vaccine has been effective in protecting herds when used properly and given to the sows at least three times a year. It may not be realistic to vaccinate the finisher in a clean herd, but if at least the sows ate protected, the> producer will not experience clini cal signs in his herd. Pseudorabies is definitely a “neighborhood disease.” As such, we will all need to continue to work together to get Pennsylvania free of Pseiidorabies. If we do so, the positive progress should continue! 1942 CMC flatbed dump, pretty good shape, but needs engine rebuilt, bam stored, $l5OO. Trade? Call mornings.
