(1) All herds in the area are participating in surveillance procedures designated by the Department.

(2) All suspects to an official brucellosis test:

(3) The number of herds found affected does not exceed specified limits.

(4) All cattle in an affected herd, except steers and identified spayed heifers, are confined to the premises under a quarantine until the herd has followed the procedures outlined in this section and is determined to be free of brucellosis or sold for slaughter. All eligible animals, as defined in section 752.3(e), shall be tested (herd test). The herd is retested at 30-day intervals until the herd passes one negative blood or other official test. Two (2) consecutive negative herd tests are required for release of the quarantine. The first negative herd test is conducted at least 30 calendar days after all reactors have been removed. The second negative or releasing test occurs six (6) months or more after all reactors have been removed.

(5) Herds adjacent to and within one (1) mile of a premises occupied by a herd known to be affected, herds sharing common pasture or having other contact with an affected herd, or herds containing cattle from previous movements from an affected herd, within a time period determined by the District or Designated Epidemiologist, are placed under quarantine until each herd is evaluated. Herd tests, as determined by the District or Designated Epidemiologist, shall be conducted as part of the evaluation. The quarantine may be maintained until brucellosis is eliminated from the area. When the quarantine is released on the brucellosis affected herd, the District or Designated Epidemiologist reevaluates these potentially exposed herds and notifies these herd owners of the need for additional herd testing.

(6) All other animals (any species) suspected of exposure to brucellosis infection, or found to be infected with brucellosis, are placed under quarantine and evaluated by the District or Designated Epidemiologist. If necessary, the epidemiologist will design and implement an eradication and/or control program suitable for the Brucella and animal species involved to prevent exposure of livestock to brucellosis.

(7) Any reactors found are disposed of in accordance with section 752.5 of this article.

(1) Provide separate calving pens for isolating cows while calving or aborting.

(2) Closely monitor the herd to assure timely separation of cows to prevent calving outside the calving pens or aborting where other cows are exposed to products of calving.

(3) Delay returning post-parturient cows to the herd until discharge of the placenta and associated fluids is complete.

(4) Promptly remove all products of calving and properly clean and disinfect the calving area.

(5) Provide feeding equipment and implement procedures to prevent contaminating feed with calving products.

(6) Make any other management, vaccination (whole-herd vaccination plan), equipment or premises changes deemed necessary under this agreement.

(7) Set a test schedule and specific dates for accomplishing the tasks described in the Herd Plan.
