TSCRA Daily News Update, Sept. 12, 2008
New Mexico loses bovine tuberculosis-free status On Sept. 11, 2008, USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) issued an interim rule changing one of New Mexico's zones from accredited free of bovine tuberculosis to modified accredited advanced. Previously, the state had been divided into two zones, one of which was modified accredited advanced, and the other of which was accredited free. Since the detection of bovine tuberculosis in two herds since May of 2007, the entire state now has the status of modified accredited advanced. APHIS is taking this action to reduce the likelihood of the disease spreading. Cattle or bison moved from New Mexico now must meet specific testing requirements to leave the state.
