NEW ID AND TRICH RULES FOR CATTLE IN TEXAS

The Texas Animal Health Commission has ruled that, starting January 1, 2013, all sexually intact adult cattle must have an approved individual identification device in place upon any change of ownership. Also, TAHC has announced plans to revise trichomoniasis regulation procedures to allow testing pooled samples of up to five bulls. Details on both subjects can be accessed on the commission website, www.tahc.state.tx.us.
