    25-225A.  SWINE -- PSEUDORABIES -- HERD DEPOPULATION. In order to prevent
the introduction or dissemination of pseudorabies into or among the swine
population of Idaho, the division of animal industries is granted authority to
condemn pseudorabies infected herds and to require the destruction of such
herds. The board of examiners is authorized and empowered upon the
recommendation of the division to reimburse the owner by cash payment for
pseudorabies affected or exposed animals which have been appraised and
slaughtered or condemned by the direction of the division, provided that the
state shall only pay the difference between appraised price less federal
indemnity and salvage for any livestock slaughtered or condemned under this
section. In the event federal indemnity is unavailable, the state shall only
pay the difference between appraised price and salvage. Appraisals shall be
performed by a team comprised of an animal health representative, the owner
and a person with experience in swine marketing. However, the director or his
designee may grant a hearing to any person under such rules as the department
may prescribe which are in compliance with chapter 52, title 67, Idaho Code,
when the appraisal price is in dispute. An appeal may be taken from the
decision of the director or his designee under the provisions of chapter 52,
title 67, Idaho Code.
