Short Statement: This is a reinstatement of Collection 0579-0315 resulting in a program change of 11,728 burden hours that will investigate current issues and examine general health and management practices of swine used on farms. The information collected through this study will be used by APHIS to identify the prevalence of risk factors for reintroduction of diseases in the population at risk and provide starting estimates and distributions for simulation modeling of program diseases. The survey methodology is essentially unchanged since the last approval of this but the questions being asked have been changed to reflect the current needs of the program. This survey will support the following objectives: 1) Describe current U.S. swine production practices including general management practices, housing practices, productivity, disease prevention and mortality for five phases of production: gestation, farrowing, nursery, grow/finish and wean-to-finish; 2) Describe trends in swine health and management practices. 3) Determine the prevalence and associated risk factors for select respiratory, neurologic, gastrointestinal, systemic and food-borne pathogens found in weaned market hogs; 4) Describe antibiotic usage patterns in weaned market hogs to control and treat disease and promote growth; 5) Evaluate presence of or exposure to select pathogens and characterize isolated organisms from the collection of biological specimens (feces, sera, saliva); 6) Estimate the economic cost of a selected respiratory, neurologic, gastrointestinal, systemic, or food-borne pathogen found in commercial swine herds.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $635,381
