That standing benefits every cattle and bison producer in the state, but it only holds as long as compliance remains consistent across all […]

The epidemic threshold was exceeded in 2021 and 2022. Males and residents 20–44 years of age were the most affected groups. In cattle, the prevalence was 1.32%, and the screening rate was below 7.5%. The only significant correlation was observed between humans and goats (r = −0.747, p = 0.03).

Gaps in its management include inadequate screening of goats, insufficient vaccination coverage and underreporting. The implementation of more comprehensive surveillance programmes is imperative. </p> </div>

@gcvsa @sarahtaber To be fair, it does, if it doesn’t kill you. Retired veterinarian- this guy is a snake oil salesman, like #tRump. Do not believe his bullshit. OK, cowshit. Using water to “clean the teats” prior to milking does not reduce the bacterial contamination of milk. Quite the opposite. I predict a resurgence of #brucellosis in #USA. Or TB. Demand milk cell counts.
