The Wisconsin Pork Association is again offering two tiers of rebates to producers testing for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus.

  • Tier 1: $25 rebate to pork producers to help offset ELISA testing costs.

  • Tier 2: $100 rebate to pork producers to offset PCR testing costs.

Testing is required to comply with Wisconsin’s Animal Health rule effective March 2018. The rule requires farms with pigs to test for PRRS and PEDV when moving intrastate or interstate. Testing is not required for pigs moving directly to harvest. The funding is available on a first come-first serve basis in 2024 while funds are available.

To qualify, the following requirements apply:

  • Producer must complete and submit rebate form and documents by Dec. 1, 2024.

    • Complete Rebate Application form

    • Test results from the diagnostic lab that shows test results for both PEDV and PRRS

    • Copy of the invoice from the veterinarian for testing

  • Producers may only apply for one rebate per premises per quarter each year.

Details on Wisconsin’s Swine Health Rule can be found here. For questions or to obtain a rebate application, visit our website or contact the Wisconsin Pork Association office at [email protected] or 608-723-7551.
