A
second herd in Michigan has two cattle that have tested positive for
tuberculosis.
Cattle
from this herd in Kalamazoo County had spent time on a farm in Ottawa County
where tuberrculosis was found last week.
The
original carriers of the illness came from Franklin County, Indiana, where two
beef herds and a whitetail deer tested positive in 2016.
Michigan’s
acting assistant state veterinarian Jarold Goodrich says officials will try to
identify any other farms that may be affected.
A
three-mile surveillance area has been established around the Kalamazoo County
farm. Cattle in the area must be tested within six months.
