However, Denise Derrer, Public Information Officer at BOAH says things may change if Wisconsin should lose its “pseudorabies free” status.
Speaking to US agriculture journal Brownfield, she said testing would be required before and after any hogs moved into Indiana. But, as only 182 hogs were imported into Indiana from Wisconsin last year, Ms Derrer said the current situation was not considered of major risk.
