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.
