Rules Governing Brucellosis
IDAPA 02.04.20
This rule change will reduce the Brucellosis test eligible age of cattle/bison from 18 months to 12 months. This recommendation was made following the 2018 USDA audit of Idaho’s brucellosis program and is necessary to minimize restrictions on interstate market access for Idaho cattle producers and maintain eligibility for federal cooperative funding to operate the program. The second rule change will remove “Idaho origin” as a prerequisite for adult brucellosis vaccination of cattle/bison. This is an unnecessary regulation that no longer poses a risk to the cattle industry.
