About this statute

This provision sets rules to control swine vesicular disease in pig holdings, including movement restrictions, reporting duties, hygiene measures, and official supervision by Fødevarestyrelsen. A pig-keeping business must be placed under public inspection if the Food Authority finds contact with an infected business or if its location gives reason to suspect spread of infection. An operator keeping pigs that have had contact with an infected business must ensure samples are taken from the pigs to clarify the suspicion. If tests show pigs in the business are infected with SVD, public supervision continues. If there is suspicion of SVD in pigs delivered to a slaughterhouse, the slaughterhouse is placed under public supervision. Slagteriet may only place pigs for slaughter at least 24 hours after the Food Authority has approved the cleaning and disinfection; vaccination against SVD virus is prohibited except as allowed under subsection 2; and the Food Authority may investigate outbreaks and allow or require vaccination.
