My neighbor’s herd was diagnosed with trichomonosis: What happens now? Do I have to test my bulls?
• District AHB field personnel will conduct an epidemiologic investigation on any herds identified as being potential exposures to affected herds. • Herdmate bulls in exposed herds will be quarantined to premises, and must have one (1) negative trichomonosis test conducted by an approved trichomonosis veterinarian to be released from quarantine. • If any bulls in exposed herds test positive for trichomonosis, the herd will be treated as an affected herd. • Movement off premises may be allowed with written permission from CDFA. If the owner of the herd is non–compliant with testing requirements, the whole herd may be restricted from movement off the premises where infection was diagnosed.
