Testing is not required for pigs moving directly to harvest.
January 15, 2025

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.
