(510 ILCS 105/5) (from Ch. 5, par. 1805)
Sec. 5. All suspect herds shall be tested for trichinosis by the Department.
Persons owning swine shall have their animals tested for trichinosis when epidemiological evidence indicates possible trichina infection. Owners of suspect or positive herds shall provide the necessary facilities for testing and identifying swine in the herd, and shall render such assistance as may be required by the Department. The Department may trap and test wild or feral mammals on premises where suspect or positive herds are maintained, and in areas in which mammals may come in contact with such swine herds, in order to determine the presence of trichina infection.
The Department may also take blood and tissue samples of swine at slaughtering facilities in an effort to locate trichinosis.
