A second Clark County swine herd has contracted pseudorabies, a disease that's not dangerous to humans but causes seizures and stillbirths in pigs.
>
The latest outbreak was found southeast of Loyal a week after a herd of 300 swine in the Greenwood area tested positive.
>
The U.S. Department of Agriculture gave the state until May 2nd to destroy the infected Greenwood herd and test all swine herds within five miles.
>
A new quarantine zone has been established in the new zone around Loyal, which is slightly farther than five miles from Greenwood.
>
Experts say the disease, completely eradicated from commercial swine operations in the U.S. in 2003, could have been introduced to Clark County by feral pigs.
