Quebec Chronic Wasting Disease (Wild/Farmed)

Share:
"In Quebec, Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is monitored in farmed cervids by analyzing samples taken from cervid deaths on the farm. Quebec abattoirs that supply retail and restaurant establishments are subject to permanent inspection by a veterinarian. All animals are examined before slaughter and carcasses are examined after slaughter. In wild cervids, surveillance is carried out as part of the CWD surveillance program in wild cervids, which is implemented in collaboration with the MFFP in the areas most at risk."
