| 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.
