November 2021 Report Highlights
As of November 30, 2021, Veterinary Services (VS) and its cooperators sampled 4,415 animals for scrapie testing in FY 2022; 4,235 at slaughter and 180 on-farm; 2,797 were sheep and 1,618 were goats. No animals have tested positive for scrapie in FY 2022.
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.
