January 2022 Report Highlights
As of January 31, 2022, Veterinary Services (VS) and its cooperators sampled 7,928 animals for scrapie testing in FY 2022; 7,592 at slaughter and 336 on-farm; 4,996 were sheep and 2,932 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.
To learn more about scrapie, the disease, and the National Scrapie Eradication Program, visit the APHIS VS Scrapie Website.
