WESTERN PRODUCER — The number of positive cases of bovine TB in a Saskatchewan herd has risen to eight.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency updated the ongoing investigation and testing July 12.

Live animal testing of one contact herd is continuing this month, and trace-out and trace-in herds are still being identified.

So far, 160 animals have been euthanized as part of the investigation.

The initial positive test was discovered in a heifer that left the province in September 2022, spent time in a U.S. feedlot and went to slaughter in February.
