National Bovine Tuberculosis Eradication Program

Share:
"Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a reportable disease under the Health of Animals Act. This means that all suspected cases must be reported to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). When it is reported, the CFIA follows a strict testing and eradication program. Because 95 percent of all commercial cattle slaughtered are sent to a federal abattoir, the CFIA also conducts abattoir surveillance system to look for bTB."
