GovDelivery: USDA Animal Disease Traceability Rule and RFID Use

Federal Order Issued on HPAI in Cattle is in effect as of April 29, 2024: All lactating dairy cattle are required to have a negative bovine influenza A test within seven(7) days prior to entry. 
      VETERINARIANS: Many states have modified import requirements for dairy cattle due to the detections of HPAI in cattle. For updated requirements, please check the destination state's import requirement page on their website. InterstateLivestock.com (interstatelivestock.com) and the Livestock Marketing Association website (lmaweb.com) are other sources for information on import requirements.
                                 
  

The Wyoming Livestock Board (WLSB) maintains a list of animal diseases called the Reportable Disease List. These diseases must be reported to the state veterinarian when they are identified, per state statute (WS 11-19-102). These diseases are important for their impact on herd health, public health and the economics and marketability of the Wyoming livestock industry.  

If any person or government entity knows or suspects that there is a contagious or infectious disease among animals under their jurisdiction, or any veterinarian knows of or suspects a reportable disease, he/she must report it to the State Veterinarian's office within 24 hours. All information collected in response to the reportable disease list shall remain confidential.
