250 R.I. Code R. 250-RICR-40-05-8.3
Current through December 26, 2024
Swine harboring infectious diseases present a health threat to both the livestock and human populations of Rhode Island. Many swine diseases are not readily detected through physical examination and anamnesis, but require the application of approved laboratory diagnostic procedures by professionally trained and supervised personnel. Therefore, only swine which have been tested negative or originate from qualified negative herds may be allowed entry into Rhode Island. It is necessary that any swine testing positive to such procedures shall be removed for slaughter.
