The requirements for testing bulls for Trichomoniasis, whether in this state or to be imported into this state, are as follows:
1. All samples to be submitted for testing for Trichomoniasis shall be drawn by a certified accredited veterinarian and testing performed by an approved laboratory.2. The testing of samples shall be performed at an official laboratory. 3. Three separate official culture tests, each conducted not less than one week apart, or one Polymerase Chain Reaction test (PCR) shall be performed, no more than 60 days prior to entry of the bull into this state. Test samples may be pooled at the laboratory upon request. A bull undergoing the three separate official culture tests must test negative on each such test to be considered free of Trichomoniasis.4. A positive result on any test shall immediately cause the bull to be classified as a Trichomoniasis infected bull subject to the restrictions set out in these regulations.5. A PCR test to confirm the presence of Trichomoniasis may be requested in the event of a positive result on a test, but the request for the confirmatory test must be made within 5 days of notification of the positive test result. a. If the confirming PCR test comes back negative then one more negative test shall be conducted for the bull to be considered negative for Trichomoniasis and be moved as a negative bull. b. If the confirming PCR test comes back positive then the bull shall be considered to be infected and subject to the restrictions set out in these regulations.6. Bulls being tested for Trichomoniasis shall be kept separate from female cattle at all times during the entire test period and from the completion of the test until importation into this state.7. All positive test results for Trichomoniasis shall be reported to the state veterinarian within 24 hours after receipt of the results. When a positive test result is received the treating veterinarian shall consult with the state veterinarian on the first business day after receipt of the test results to determine a plan of action regarding the herd of the animal testing positive.2 Miss.
