Swine Brucellosis Testing urged for breeding stock
Swine breeders face brucellosis risk similar to dairymen. The American Foundation for Animal Health notes increasing losses in swine producing areas. Test sows and boars before introducing them, remove reactors, re test after about 30 days, and buy only from accredited brucellosis controlled herds or ensure two negative tests 30 days apart.
