Scrapie in Sheep and Goats; Interstate Movement Restrictions and Indemnity Program

We are proposing to restrict the interstate movement of sheep and goats from States that do not follow effective flock management practices for scrapie. We also propose to require animal identification for sheep and goats moving interstate and to reinstate a scrapie indemnity program to compensate owners of certain animals destroyed due to scrapie. These changes would help prevent the interstate spread of scrapie, an infectious disease of sheep and goats.
