Goals of Regulation 1. The protection of the public’s health, safety, and welfare with the least possible cost and intrusiveness to the citizens and businesses of the Commonwealth.

2. The prevention of the re-introduction of the economically devastating disease of pseudorabies into Virginia swine herds.

3. The easing of the burden of interstate shipping restrictions on Virginia swine producers by maintaining pseudorabies-free status. Swine coming from pseudorabies-infected herds or states are required to be tested negative to pseudorabies before they are accepted by the importing state.
