AS OF September 1, 2010, state-inspected meat plants are no longer accepting farmed cervid chronic wasting disease (CWD) samples for animals that die on-farm. Deer and elk heads can still be sampled through Purdue’s diagnostic laboratory, by sending the head to another diagnostic laboratory, or sampling through a private practitioner. Veterinarians who would like to be trained for CWD sampling should contact Paula Livers at 1-877-747-3038.
PRELIMINARY TEST results diagnosed a northern Indiana cervid with EHD. The wild white-tailed deer, found near the Indiana-Illinois state line, is the first positive after many reports of strange-acting animals.
