The Canadian Food Inspection Agency continues to make
progress on its massive investigation into tuberculosis in beef cattle in
Alberta.
The number of premises released from quarantine has now
jumped to 77 and the number of cattle remaining under quarantine has declined
to 2,200.
Sixteen thousand cattle have now been released from quarantines
that stretched across Southern Alberta and into Southwestern Saskatchewan.
The CFIA found six infected animals from one operation with
18 premises and slaughtered 11.500 head.
Canada has maintained export status throughout the crisis.
