Livestock Disease Found in Idaho

Finance World News Update by EQUITIES Magazine

State agriculture officials are rushing to find if the infection of brucellosis found in an eastern Idaho beef cow is isolated or has spread to other herds.

 

Idaho Department of Agriculture state veterinarian Bill Barton issued a memo yesterday informing state animal health officials that a beef cow from a newly assembled 600-head herd tested positive for brucellosis. No calves or bred females have been sold from the herd.

 

Despite being vaccinated for brucellosis, the infected cow contracted the disease and epidemiologists are scrambling to determine the source of the infection.
