NAHMS Swine 2012 Fecal Collection Record

National Animal Health Monitoring System 2150 Centre Dr #B F ort Collins, CO 80526 Form Approved OMB Number 0579-0315 EXP. DATE: XX/XXXX

Sample from pens populated by late finisher pigs (20 weeks and older).

Take 60 samples from the floors of a maximum of 10 pens.

The samples will be tested for Salmonella, and results will be returned to the Producer in

approximately 45-60 days after collection.

Work with your NAHMS coordinator to determine the farm and week to sample.

Review the materials in the Field Handbook for detailed collection information.

Determine how many pens on the site contain late finisher pigs that are 20 weeks and older.

If less than 10 pens, collect samples from all pens for a maximum of 60 samples.

For example, 8 pens = 7 samples from each of 6 pens, 9 samples from 2 pens

2 pens = 30 samples from each pen

If 10 pens, collect 6 samples from each pen.

If more than 10 pens, randomly select 10.

Samples should be about golf-ball size.

Label the bag and complete the Collection Form. Do not use the label to secure the bag closed.

Keep samples cool, pack with 4 ice packs each, and ship via Fed Ex within 24 hours of collection.

Send a copy of the Collection Form with each box of samples and send the original to your NAHMS Coordinator.

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number.
