Sec. 6. (a) Reactor cattle and bison shall remain quarantined until the state veterinarian authorizes one (1) of the following dispositions:

(1) The reactor cattle and bison are moved directly to:

(A) an approved slaughter plant;

(B) a research laboratory; or

(A) an officially sealed vehicle that is accompanied to its destination by a state or federal official, or their agent; or

(B) a vehicle without a state or federal agent accompanying the vehicle and the letters "TB" are tattooed legibly in the left ear of the animal.

(c) Exposed cattle and bison shall remain on the premises where tuberculosis is disclosed until the state veterinarian authorizes their movement. The state veterinarian may authorize the movement of exposed cattle and bison directly to an approved slaughter establishment, a rendering plant, a research laboratory, or an approved disposal site. The state veterinarian may authorize feeder calves that have tested negative for tuberculosis within the past sixty (60) days to move to a quarantined feedlot. No other animals may be moved with exposed cattle and bison unless they also are delivered to the same destination as the exposed animals.

(B) closed by an official seal issued by the state veterinarian or a federal official and is removed from the vehicle only after the seal is removed by a state or federal official, or their officially designated agent.

(e) Animals other than cattle and bison that are exposed animals must be identified by attaching to an ear a tag approved by the state veterinarian that identifies the animal as exposed. All such animals shall be transported to the place of destruction in a vehicle that is either officially sealed or that is accompanied by a state or federal official. Animals that are destroyed and disposed of under direct supervision of a state or federal official on the premises where the animals were exposed do not require individual identification.

(f) After any animal is moved under the terms of this section, the means of conveyance must be cleaned and disinfected with a disinfectant approved by the state veterinarian and under the supervision of the state veterinarian. If at the animal's destination such proper cleaning and disinfecting facilities are not available, the state veterinarian may approve the transportation of the empty means of conveyance to a location where proper cleaning and disinfecting is possible. The state veterinarian may allow such movement only if it does not significantly increase the risk of spreading tuberculosis.

Sec. 9. (a) The owner of a herd where tuberculosis infection has been confirmed but the herd is not depopulated must complete the requirements in this subsection after the quarantine is released. The herd owner must procure the services of an accredited veterinarian to test each animal in the herd for tuberculosis annually for the next two (2) consecutive years. The first test must be conducted not more than three hundred sixty (360) days and not less than one hundred ninety (190) days after the quarantine release and the second test one (1) year thereafter.

(b) In herds with a history of lesions suspicious of bovine tuberculosis (not confirmed), two (2) complete annual herd tests shall be applied after release of quarantine. The first test must be applied approximately one (1) year after release of quarantine.

(c) After a herd is completely depopulated because of tuberculosis, a new herd may be assembled on the same premises, but the owner of the new herd shall procure the services of an accredited veterinarian to test each animal in the new herd as follows:

(1) Each animal in the herd must be tested between one hundred fifty (150) and one hundred eighty (180) days after the date the first animal in the new herd entered the premises.

(2) One (1) year after the testing required in subdivision (1) is completed, each animal in the herd must be tested.

If the premises that contained the former affected herd is left empty of all animals for not less than one (1) year prior to assembly of the new herd, the state veterinarian may waive some or all of the requirements in this subsection if such waiver is consistent with the purpose of this article.

(d) Exposed animals previously sold from a known infected herd shall be depopulated with indemnity if possible. But, if the exposed animals are not depopulated, only the single cervical test (SCT) shall be used as the initial test. All responding animals shall be classified as reactors. If negative to the single cervical test, the exposed animals shall be treated as if they are part of the infected herd of origin for the purpose of testing, quarantine release, and the two (2) annual high-risk tests under this rule. The remainder of the herd shall be retested in one (1) year as described in subdivision (2). The remainder of the receiving herd shall be tested for tuberculosis as follows:

(1) If lesions of tuberculosis (based on histopathologic examination) are found in the exposed animals, the remainder of the herd shall be depopulated or tested with the single cervical test.

(2) In all other cases, the remainder of the herd shall be tested using the caudal fold test. The responding animals may be classified as suspects and retested with the comparative cervical test.
