TB confirmed in Michigan

The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development confirmed a small Alcona beef herd positive for bovine tuberculosis (TB) during routine testing. This is the second case of TB this year and the 62nd confirmed herd since 1998 in Michigan.

Beef and dairy cattle producers are invited to an information meeting in Alcona county August 6, 2015 to learn how this will impact their farms. Bovine TB is an infectious bacterial disease affecting cattle and white-tailed deer.
