Catch Title:
Brucellosis
surveillance program-2.

Subject:
Brucellosis
management.

Summary/Major Elements:

The currently brucellosis
program allows for compensation for brucellosis testing of cattle and
reimbursement to veterinarians performing the testing. This bill modifies
the program to also provide for spaying heifers and adult vaccinations to
help in the prevention of the spread of brucellosis.

The
act modifies the compensation rate by lowering the minimum rate of $3.50
per head to $1.50 per head. This would allow for more flexibility and
discretion in addressing various numbers of livestock being tested, spayed
or vaccinated.
