When pigs are re-introduced into a holding in accordance with Article 13(2)(a) or (2)(b) or Article 19(8), second subparagraph (b) of Directive 2001/89/EC, the following sampling procedures must be applied:

  • in case sentinel pigs are reintroduced, blood samples for serological tests must be taken at random from a number of pigs that allow for the detection of 10 % seroprevalence with 95 % confidence in each sub-unit of the holding;

  • in case of total re-population, blood samples for serological tests must be taken at random from a number of pigs that allow for the detection of 20 % seroprevalence with 95 % confidence in each sub-unit of the holding.

However, in the case of breeding sows or boars the number of samples to be taken must be such as to detect 10 % seroprevalence with 95 % confidence.
