USDA Proposes
New Ruling
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA)
recently proposed changes in
regulations on paying in
demnity to owners of cattle
destroyed because of
tuberculosis.
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. Additional
details can be obtained by
contacting David L. Kantner
at the Schuylkill County
Cooperative Extension
Office, Post Office Box 404,
