Bovine Tuberculosis (bovine TB) Trace-In Activities

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is continuing to make progress in its bovine TB investigation in response to the confirmed detection of the disease in a BC cow in November 2018. To date, a total of four confirmed cases of bovine TB have been found in one herd in the Southern Interior of British Columbia. As part of the response, the CFIA has identified and traced the animals that entered the infected herd in the past seven years. Testing for trace-in herds will take place in the fall of 2019.
