When pigs are reintroduced into a holding in accordance with Article 13(4) of Directive 2002/60/EC, the following sampling procedures must be applied:

  • blood samples must be collected at the earliest 45 days after the reintroduction of the pigs,

  • 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 5 % seroprevalence with 95 % confidence in each subunit of the holding,

  • in case of total repopulation, 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 subunit of the holding.

Then, the procedure laid down in the third indent above must be repeated at the earliest 60 days after total repopulation.
