New Rules for Indiana Cattle and Bison Entering the State
Thursday, August 25th, 2016 -- 8:00 AM
(Wisconsin Ag Connection) -Wisconsin's state veterinarian says effective immediately, all Indiana cattle and bison of any age will require a negative tuberculosis test within 60 days prior to entering the state, unless they are going directly to slaughter.Dr. Paul McGraw says the declaration is in response to the Hoosier State's recent announcement that a wild white-tailed deer was killed on the property of a TB positive beef herd. "This is a precautionary step that is taken on a case-by-case basis when a state identifies a new herd affected by tuberculosis," McGraw said.
The Indiana State Board of Animal Health says the 41 head beef herd was depopulated in April.
