Animal Health
Reportable Animal Diseases
The Wyoming Livestock Board maintains a list of animal diseases called the Reportable Disease List. Listed diseases and high morbidity or mortality events must be reported to the Wyoming Livestock Board in accordance with Wyoming Statute 11-19-102.
These diseases are important because of their potential impact on herd health, public health, and the economics and marketability of Wyoming’s livestock industry.
If any producer, owner, veterinarian, laboratory, or government agency suspects or confirms a reportable disease or unusual disease event, the Wyoming Livestock Board must be notified within 24 hours.
Some diseases must also be reported to the Wyoming Department of Health.
