Abstract

A tuberculous beef animal was detected Aug 29, 1973, by a veterinary medical officer in a Georgia slaughter establishment. Animal identification and traceback eventually led to a purebred beef herd in Decatur County, Georgia. Investigation and tuberculin testing of 23,000 cattle in 350 herds revealed 11 Mycobacterium bovis-infected beef herds and resulted in the complete depopulation of 5 herds. The epizootic was confined to Georgia and was eradicated by April, 1975.
