preamble_202
3. Blood samples for the detection of antibody as an aid to diagnosis of clinical outbreaks and for the purposes of surveillance, should be taken from animals which have recovered from suspect infection and from sows known to have been in contact with infected or suspect cases. In such suspect holdings all of the first 20 suspect or in-contact animals, and 25 % of any additional animals, should be sampled. In order to ensure a high probability of detection of antibody induced by swine fever virus, samples should be collected from each unit of the holding at this level. Sero diagnosis should not be attempted where vaccination has been officially carried out.
