Iowa State Fair Not Changing Policy on Pigs
A study showing that some pigs that tested positive for swine flu hadn’t yet showed any symptoms isn’t changing health safety plans for the Iowa State Fair under way in Des Moines.
Iowa State Fair veterinarian Bruce Leuschen told The Des Moines Register there are no plans to test every pig at the fair.
Iowa fair officials typically isolate pigs only after they show the symptoms.
To be shown at the Iowa fair, each animal must have papers from its local veterinarian that attest to the animal’s health.
The fair runs through Sunday.
