What is being done to fight brucellosis?
Before 1934, control of brucellosis was limited mainly to individual herds. Today, there is a Cooperative State Federal Brucellosis Eradication Program to eliminate the disease from the country. Like other animal disease-eradication efforts, success of the program depends on the support and participation of livestock producers. The program’s Uniform Methods and Rules set forth the minimum standards for States to achieve eradication.
