May 15, 2015 New Mexico VS Update
In compliance with the 2015 VSV Field Procedures, livestock on a
Grant Co premises are under quarantine following private practitioner
notification to Animal Health Officials of the finding of one (1) horse with
lesions compatible with Vesicular Stomatitis. There has been no movement of
livestock to or from this premises in the past three weeks. Appropriate
biosecurity measures are in place at this time.
Producer and private practitioner vigilance for evidence of
vesicular lesions in livestock and immediate reporting of such findings to
state and/or federal animal health officials is essential for prompt diagnosis
and control of disease spread and initiation of biosecurity measures to protect
other livestock.
Kind
regards,
