KANSAS CITY (Dow Jones)–A one-time targeted bovine tuberculosis testing campaign is planned for the fall to determine if Minnesota’s cattle population harbors any remaining level of bovine TB, according to a release from the state Board of Animal Health.
In 2005, five beef cattle herds in northwestern Minnesota were identified as positive for bovine TB, the release said. As a result, the U.S. Department of Agriculture downgraded the state’s TB status from TB-Free to Modified Accredited Advanced.
