U.S.
Bovine Tuberculosis Strategic Plan (2004)
BACKGROUND:
Increased problems with dairy cattle tuberculosis in the western
states, persistent tuberculosis in imported Mexican cattle, exposure of
dairy heifer replacements in feed-lot conditions, and the continued
problem of bovine tuberculosis in Michigan white tail deer and cattle has
resulted in the development of the 2004 U.S. TB Strategic Plan.
Increased funding and surveillance will be required to meet the
challenge of continued infection.
RESOLUTION:
The National Institute for Animal Agriculture (NIAA) supports adequate
funding in the APHIS USDA budget to implement the 2004 U.S. TB Strategic
Plan.
