York is in Stage V, along with

The national goal is complete
eradication of the disease.
Ohio has no infected herds but
continues in Stage 111 because pro
ducers still want to buy or sell
feeder pigs. In the meantime, they
will move, gradually, to Stage IV
(PRV-free but needing to validate
PRV status), and Stage V, official
ly free.

herd that was under quarantine
within the past two years will be
required to test Mae than 300
producers will be contacted by
phone and mail sometime next
month. Testing will be on-farm or
at slaughter.
The purpose of the test is to
“make sure we truly have the last
herds,” she said, and that the state
has definitely controlled PRV.
Nesselrodt noted how coopera
tive producers have been with the
program.
“When I started in this program,
I was worried that the producers
would not be cooperative, would
not be willing to meet with me, and
would not be willing to clean up,”
said Nesselrodt.
“1 found that all to be untrue.
Most producers were very willing
to work with me, were very
cooperative.”
Nesselrodt also noted
that the local swine vet
erinarians have also
been instrumental in
helping to eradicate
pseudoiabies.
The USDA veterina
rian believes that pro
ducers learned to work
together to ensure that
the state reach the final
stage and be PRV-free.
“The Pennsylvania
Department of Agricul
ture, USDA, and the
Pennsylvania pork
industry will continue to
work together to reach
the goal of eradicating
pseudotabies from Pen
nsylvania by the year
2000,” said Nesselrodt
In the meantime, pro
ducers who want to find
out more about the prog
ram can contact Nessel
rodt at the USDA-

ment of Agriculture
