CWD Challenges
• Occurs in multiple species• Occurs in both captive herds and
free-ranging animals• Gaps in knowledge of CWD transmission• Falls under authority of multiple agencies

APHIS’ Goals for CWD
• Eradicate CWD from captive cervids
• Assist States and Tribes in addressing CWD in free-ranging deer and elk

Veterinary Services CWD Activities
• Develops Federal regulations
• Makes cooperative agreements with States and Tribes
• Conducts surveillance and diagnostic activities
• Administers an indemnity program

Proposed Federal Herd Certification Program
• Fencing requirements
• Animal ID and herd inventory measures
• Surveillance of deaths in animals 16 months and older
• Depopulation of positive herds with payment of indemnity
• Voluntary program (participation required for interstate movement)
