Resources

  • To report a sheep or goat with clinical signs of scrapie, please contact your local Veterinary Services (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.
