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, California and Ilinois. All breeding cattle transported to Wisconsin, California, and Ilinois 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.
