(1) All intrastate movements of Cervidae
other than to a state or federally inspected slaughter establishment shall be
accompanied by an intrastate movement Certificate of Veterinary Inspection
signed by a licensed, accredited veterinarian. Movement of CWD susceptible
Cervidae, other than direct movement to slaughter, shall only be allowed from
herds that have been enrolled in the Iowa CWD monitoring program and have
successfully completed at least one year. As used in this subrule, "been
enrolled" means that the herd owner has received from the department written
notification of the herd's enrollment and participation in the
program.
(2) Such intrastate
movement certificate shall include all of the following:
a. Consignor's name and address.
b. Consignee's name and address.
c. Individual, official identification of
each animal.
d. For CWD susceptible
Cervidae, the certificate shall include the CWD herd premises number, the herd
status level, the anniversary date, and the expiration date. The following
statement must be included on the certificate:
"There has been no diagnosis, sign, or epidemiological evidence
of chronic wasting disease in this herd for the past year."
e. For Cervidae other than CWD susceptible
Cervidae, the following statement must be included on the certificate:
"The animal(s) has not spent any time within the past 36 months
in a zoo, animal menagerie, or like facility, or has not been on the same
premises as a cervid herd which has been classified as a CWD infected herd,
exposed herd, or trace herd."
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code chapter 163 and
Iowa Code Supplement chapter 170.
