Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Food Safety

Background:

  • Abattoir surveillance is a cornerstone of U.S. bovine tuberculosis (TB) control programs.
  • Surveillance adapts to evolving livestock markets and the threat of wildlife reservoirs.
  • Bovine TB eradication is managed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) through FSIS and APHIS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline current U.S. bovine TB slaughter surveillance goals.
  • To detail the components of the U.S. slaughter surveillance system.
  • To describe system enhancements and discuss future challenges.

Main Methods:

  • Review of government regulations and scientific literature.
  • Examination of Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) roles.

  • Analysis of surveillance results from the past five years.

    • Main Results:

    • FSIS conducts routine carcass surveillance; APHIS handles antemortem testing and investigations.
    • Enhancements include an incentive program for tissue submission and electronic animal identification pilots.
    • System expansions are underway to include new livestock industries.

    Conclusions:

    • The U.S. bovine TB slaughter surveillance system has undergone significant enhancements.
    • Continued adaptation and investment are necessary to address future challenges in bovine TB control.
    • Successful eradication requires ongoing collaboration between regulatory agencies and industry stakeholders.
