The new rules would allow payment of indemnities for unregistered bulls and steers destroyed because of reaction to tuberculin tests. The rate would depend on the appraised value of the animal, but would not exceed $350. Officials of USDA*s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) said these classes of animals were omitted when in demnity rates for cattle tuberculosis were increased in June 1972. APHIS officials said the proposed revision would also provide that: - Indemnities could be paid for exposed cattle sold from herds which are later destroyed because of tuberculosis, and for calves exposed to nursing cows which react to a tuberculin test. -An independent ap praiser could be used, at the discretion of the APHIS veterinarian - in - charge, when processing a claim for indemnity involving a large number of animals. - USDA would pay half the cost of destroying cattle which were disposed of by means other than regular slaughter, including half the cost of transporting the Auditorium of the Penn State Schuylkill Campus, Route 61, 'Schuylkill Haven.
