May 2021 Report Highlights
As of May 31, 2021, Veterinary Services (VS) sampled 20,239 animals for scrapie in FY 2021; 19,235 at slaughter and 1,004 on-farm; 14,746 were sheep and 5,493 were goats. One sheep has tested positive for classical scrapie in FY 2021.
Resources
To report a sheep or goat with clinical signs of scrapie, please contact your local VS office or State Veterinarian’s office. APHIS may pay indemnity for adult sheep or goats with neurological or other signs that are determined to be consistent with scrapie.
Alternatively, an APHIS veterinarian could provide live animal scrapie testing for these animals.
To learn more about scrapie, the disease, and the National Scrapie Eradication Program, visit the APHIS VS Scrapie Website.
