Section 12:68:23:13 - Accredited herd plan

The requirements of the accredited herd plan for Cervidae are as follows:

(1) Animals to be tested: Testing of herds for accreditation or reaccreditation must include all Cervidae and all other hoof stock over six months of age and animals under six months of age that are not natural additions;

(2) Qualifying standards: To meet the requirements for accredited herd status, the herd must pass at least two consecutive official tests for tuberculosis conducted at 9- to 15-month intervals with no evidence of bovine tuberculosis disclosed. Herds meeting these standards are issued a certificate by the state veterinarian stating the qualifying standards have been met by the herd;

(3) Additions: Herd additions must originate directly from one of the following and have no exposure to cervids from herds of lesser status than the additions' herd of origin:

(a) An accredited herd;

(b) A qualified or monitored herd if the individual animals for addition were negative to an official tuberculosis test conducted within the 90 days preceding entry and are isolated from members of the accredited herd until they prove negative to an official tuberculosis test conducted at least 90 days following entry;

(c) A herd not meeting the requirements of subsection (a) or (b) in this subdivision. The individual animals for addition must be isolated from all other members of the herd of origin and pass two negative official tests for tuberculosis conducted at least 90 days apart, with the second test conducted within the 90 days preceding movement to the premises of the accredited herd. The additions must be kept in isolation from members of the accredited herd until they are negative to an official tuberculosis test conducted at least 90 days following the date of entry to the premises.

Animals added under subsection (b) and (c) of this subdivision may not receive accredited herd status for sale or movement purposes until they are negative on a retest 90 days after entry; and

(4) Reaccreditation: To qualify for reaccreditation, the herd must pass a test within a period between 21 to 27 months after the anniversary date of accreditation. The accreditation period is 36 months (1080 days) from the anniversary date, not 36 months from the date of the reaccreditation test.
