Herd owners are not required to


meet the 20 percent mortality test- ing requirement when transport- ing animals to a state- or federally- inspected slaughter facility. These animals count as eligible mortalities for the herd, however, so owners are encouraged to test these animals as well as those harvested by hunters to ensure the herd meets the 20-per- cent testing requirement for future movements. Negative CWD results must be


obtained on at least 1 out of 5 eli- gible mortalities to qualify a herd to move live animals to another premise. For a copy of the CWD Suscep-


tible Species Movement Record (TAHC Form 13-05) and the CWD Susceptible Species Inventory Re- cord (TAHC Form 13-06), visit tahc. texas.gov and enter “CWD Herd Programs” in the search box on the left side of the page. “With the disclosure of CWD in


mule deer in the Hueco Mountains of Texas in 2012, coupled with the newly required designation of red deer and Sika deer as susceptible species, it is imperative that surveil- lance is increased in those species and movement of those susceptible species be trace- able,” says Dr. Greg Hawkins, TAHC Region 4 director.
