Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 6, September 18, 2024
Infected and source flocks wifl be quarantined by the department upon the determination of their status. A written flock cleanup plan shall be signed by the owner of an infected or source flock, and the requirements set out in the plan shall be adhered to until its Cornpletion. The plan may consist of:
1. Whole flock depopulation;
2. The removal of genetically susceptible female animals, suspect animals, positive animals, and the female offspring of positive female animals; or
3. The removal of high-risk animals as defined in 9 CFR 79.4.
Indemnity may be paid for animals removed, if funds are available through USDA. All flock plans require cleaning and disinfecting procedures as part of the requirements. Upon Cornpletion of the flock plan, the quarantine may be released, with the approval of the DSE, and following an inspection of the premises by a state or federal animal health official. At that time, the owner is required to sign a post-exposure management and monitoring plan (PEMMP) and agree to the requirements set out in that plan. Exposed flocks may also be quarantined, or have other movement restrictions placed on them, and may require a PEMMP plan which is consistent with current USDA regulations.
