agriculture in New Mexico.

control the spread of contagious diseases of livestock, and
provide the meat packing and processing industry an inspection
service that assures the consumers they are receiving a clean,
wholesome, and safe product.”

General Information
Equine Rescue and
Retirement
The New Mexico
Legislature during the 2005 session passed House Bill 1043.
This bill was passed to protect the horses and citizens of the
State of New Mexico. The contents of the bill have been
incorporated into the New Mexico State Statutes.
The New Mexico
Livestock Board is charged with Licensing and monitoring Equine
Rescue Facilities. The intent of the legislation was to set
guidelines under which rescue and retirement facilities operate.
The New Mexico Livestock Board and the New Mexico State
veterinarians Office inspects and monitors facilities.
Facilities who meet the guidelines of rescue are issued an
annual license. As facilities are approved and licensed they
will be listed as licensed facilities on the New Mexico
Livestock Board website.

Critical Events

Bovine Tuberculosis -
The Tuberculosis (TB) status in New Mexico remains as it has
been since the TB regionalization plan took affect in July
of 2005. Most of the state has TB free status with a small
TB Modified Accredited zone in the Clovis /Portales area.
Currently,
the State of New Mexico along with the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) is investigating a TB
infected herd in the eastern part of the State. To aid in
this investigation, Governor Richardson has created a TB
intervention team. In making sure that all avenues are
being followed, the New Mexico Livestock Board and the
Federal Government have allocated money and personnel to do
everything possible for New Mexico to maintain its current
TB free status.
New Mexico is
classified as a tuberculosis free state. There is a small
zone classified as modified accredited advanced in the
southeastern part of the state. All states have recognized
New Mexico as a bovine tuberculosis free state with the
exception of Wisconsin. All breeding cattle transported to
Wisconsin must have a negative bovine tuberculosis test
within sixty days. The New Mexico Livestock Board, in
cooperation with the United States Department of
Agriculture, Veterinary Services, is currently conducting
surveillance to prevent the introduction of tuberculosis
into New Mexico.

Bovine Trichomoniasis -
The New Mexico
Livestock Board has implemented
regulations
to protect producers
from this highly infectious, contagious disease. Rules adopted
are consistent with other state regulations governing this
disease.
Effective immediately, Bovine Trichomoniasis testing
will be done using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
technology. This change will result in greater
sensitivity and specificity for overall increased test
accuracy. Handling of preputial samples,
transport, collection techniques, etc., can compromise
the quality of the sample using traditional culturing
technique. Traditional culturing methodology: does not
detect dead parasites, only identifies the presence of
Trichomonas,
and does not differentiate between
T. foetus
and other species of
Trichomonas.
Because PCR technology is DNA based, this methodology
can detect infection that has been missed by traditional
cultural technology because of very low organism numbers
or dead/dying (in transit) organisms. However, accuracy
of test results using PCR may be compromised if the
sample is received more than 3 days after collection.
With increased accuracy, some increased expense is
incurred.
