bovine tuberculosis
The North Dakota Board of Animal Health today ordered the new rules to kick in immediately in response to an outbreak of bovine tuberculosis across the border in Roseau County and a corner of Beltrami County in northwestern Minnesota.
"We're not surprised," said Deb Dahlke, executive director of the Minnesota State Cattlemen's Association, "We have been advising our members of this scenario that this could very well happen."
Dahlke said Minnesota producers are being told to get whole-herd disease testing completed before hauling livestock across state lines.
The North Dakota order, signed today by Nathan Boehm, president of animal health board, pertains to all cattle, bison, goats, farmed elk and llamas coming into the state from Minnesota.
