Section 571.658 - Exposed herd: Classification; placement under and release from hold order; lease and transfer of ownership; release to slaughter channel1. If, through an epidemiological investigation, a trichomonosis epidemiologist determines that a neighboring herd has had contact with an infected bull, the Director will classify the herd as an exposed herd and place it under a hold order.2. Before the Director releases an exposed herd from a hold order, an accredited veterinarian must ensure that: (a) Each test eligible bull in the exposed herd receives an official test for trichomonosis within 8 months after the herd was placed under a hold order;(b) Each test eligible bull is determined to be clear of trichomonosis or is released to a slaughter channel;(c) Each test eligible bull receives and bears an official tag; and(d) The official tag number and classification of each test eligible bull is recorded on a test chart.3. Before a test eligible bull may be certified to be clear of trichomonosis pursuant to subsection 2, the test eligible bull must have received a negative test result in its most recent official test for trichomonosis.4. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 5, the owner or lessee of an exposed herd shall not lease or transfer ownership of any bull or cow, or any heifer that is 20 months of age or older, from the herd during a period in which the herd is under a hold order.5. The owner or lessee of an exposed herd may release any cattle from the herd to a slaughter channel. If an owner or lessee releases any cattle from the herd to a slaughter channel, the owner or lessee must provide documentation, on a form approved by the Administrator, to the Department that the cattle arrived at the slaughter channel.Nev.
