Wingham Memorial Shop QUALITY SERVICE CRAFTSMANSHIP Open Every Weekday Your Guarantee for Over 35 rears of CEMETERY LETTERING Box 158, WINGHAM JOHN MALLICK. New regulation NV11101 come lilt° effect on April 1, will enable the Health of Animals Branch of Agriculture Canada to accelerate its campaign to eradicate brucel- losis from Canadian cattle herds according to Dr. W. J. Thompson, district veterinarian.' As of March 23 last there were 11 herds under quarantine in Huron County. • kinder the regulations. Canada will be classified into three types of regions in accordance with the level of infection present: 1. Brucellosis-Free- Nfld., P.E.I. and N.B. 2. Brucellosis 1,m-incidence- N.S. • Man.. B.C.. Sask. and Alta. 3. Non-Designated- Que, and Ontario. The new regulations. and how they affect the livestock owner, involve strict control on move- ment of cattle into regions (provinces) with lower levels of infection than that which exists in their home areas! Dr. Thompson says. For instance, cattle•moving from a non-designated area to one of low-incidence, or from a low-incidence area to a brucel- losis-free region, would all re- quire blood-testing prior to move- ment. Animals from brucellosis- free listed herds will be exempt, as well as some animals which will be exempted because of age, breeding capability or vaccination status. These latter exemptions would naturally change based on the type of herd 'and region from' which they originated as well as to the type of herd and region to which they are .moving: In non-designated regions to (provinces); such as Ontario and Quebec, most cattle also require testing prior to movement to another farm, public sale, auction or market of livestock, or to a Show or exhibition within these two provinces, Exempt from this testing requirement will be cattle from brucellosis-free listed herds, dairy cattle less than 18 months of age, beef „cattle leSs than 24 months of age, cattle for immed- iate slaughter, steers and spayed heifers. In all instances in which animals require a test prior to movement, particularly in Ontario and Quebec, on the farm blood testing must be conducted by an accredited veterinarian or his technician,-at the expense of the animal owner. The test will be carried out by either a provincial (Ontario and Quebec only) or _Federal (all provinces) laboratory. National statistics for the period ending February 28, 1978 showed 'Og 863 herds . were under quarantine in Canada. Brucellosis Free Regions - 2 herds: Brucellosis Low-Incidence 144 herds: and non-designated 717 herds. When a blood test is required for cattle movement, the blood test results must accompany the animal when it is moved Dr. Thompson said and addedpwners who don't abide by these new regulations run the risk of Forfeit- ing governthent compensation for cattle found to be infected with brucellosis, and also may be prosecuted under the Animal Disease and Protection Act. r Immo BERG Sales — Service Installation FREE ESTIMATES I ° Barn Cleaners ° Bunk Feeders I ° Stabling Donald G.
