Brucellosis DSA

 
The Designated Surveillance Area (DSA) was established under IDAPA 02.04.20 “Rules Governing Brucellosis.” The DSA is an area of Idaho where brucellosis seropositive wildlife is known to exist and where comingling of wildlife and livestock may lead to transmission of brucellosis.  There are DSAs in both Montana and Wyoming as well. Please see the DSA map for the Idaho DSA borderlines. If you are unsure as to whether or not your herd is (or will be) in the Idaho DSA, please contact Animal Industries at (208) 332-8540.
 
Any cattle and domestic bison leaving the DSA must meet the following requirements:

      • Individual, official identification.  Acceptable forms of ID are:
          • Orange brucellosis vaccination tag
          • Silver USDA tag
          • RFID tag
      • Negative brucellosis test for test eligible animals within 30 days before leaving the DSA if the cattle have been in the DSA anytime between January 1 and June 15 of any calendar year.  Exceptions to testing are provided for animals going directly to an Idaho approved livestock market or a USDA-inspected slaughter facility located in Idaho.
      • Cattle leaving the DSA are required to obtain a movement permit no less than 24 hours prior to movement.  Permits can be obtained by calling Animal Industries at (208) 332-8540.
