A number of new rules and amendments were recently adopted by the Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC).
Texas animal health regulations associated with dairy cattle exposed to tuberculosis, two new provisions for beef cattle that originated in Mexico, microchip Piroplasmosis Reactors for equine and rule changes for registration of domestic and exotic water fowl are effective immediately, according to Southwest Farm Press.
TAHC is accepting public comments on a number of proposed rules on Trichomoniasis (trich) testing and herd certification for cattle; requirements and treatment standards of scabies and mange mites for livestock; adding Novel Swine Enteric Coronavirus Disease (SECD) to the list of reportable diseases; bovine trich entry requirements and testing exemptions; and health certificates issued on non-commercial swine entering Texas.
