  • •The State Veterinarian has the authority to order the testing.
  • •The purpose is to identify which animals are infected with tuberculosis.

Example

A farmer lives in a county that has been declared a tuberculosis control area. The State Veterinarian decides to test the farmer's herd to see which cows are infected.

Because the area is a TB control zone, the veterinarian can tell the farmer to have all his cattle tested, and the results will show which cows have TB so they can be dealt with.
