TAHC adopts use of fever tick vaccine, proposed CWD sample collection rule

Source: Texas Animal Health Commission

The Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) held a regularly scheduled meeting on May 24, 2016, in Austin. The following rule adoption will become effective on June 15, 2016:
 
Chapter 41, Fever Ticks, Fever Tick Vaccine
This newly adopted rule will add the fever tick vaccine requirements for beef cattle in quarantine areas and clarifies the different requirements for dipping, treatment, and vaccination.
 
To view the details of the passed rule visit http://www.tahc.texas.gov/regs/code.html
 
The following rule amendment was proposed:
 
Chapter 47, Authorized Personnel, CWD Authorized Personnel Requirements:  
The proposed rule will clarify that only Certified CWD Veterinarians may collect antemortem (live animal) CWD samples. Non-veterinarians may only collect postmortem CWD samples. As such, the commission proposes to change the title of such individuals from “Certified CWD Sample Collector” to “Certified CWD Postmortem Sample Collector.” The proposed rule also includes the requirements for Certified CWD Veterinarians.
The TAHC began accepting public comments for the proposal on June 10, 2016. The deadline for comment submissions on the proposed amendment is July 11, 2016. Complete details of the rule proposal are available on the TAHC website at www.tahc.texas.gov/regs/proposals.html
 
The TAHC encourages and appreciates all comments. Comments on the proposed amendment must be submitted in writing to Amanda Bernhard, Texas Animal Health Commission, 2105 Kramer Lane, Austin, Texas 78758, by fax at 512-719-0719, or by email to [email protected].
