Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
Bovine trichomoniasis is a venereal disease caused by the
				  protozoon Tritrichomonas foetus. This disease can result in: decreased
				  reproductive efficiency, early embryonic death, abortion, pyometra and
				  transient infertility in infected cattle. Trichomoniasis has the potential to
				  severely impact the reproductive health of cattle in Alabama. In view of the
				  threat posed by this disease to the health of the state's livestock and the
				  economy of the livestock industry, the following rule will be considered and so
				  ordered by the state veterinarian:
(1)
				All virgin and non-virgin bulls 18 months of age and older entering the state
				of Alabama must test negative for Trichomoniasis within the 60 days prior to
				entry into the state. The sample utilized for this test shall be collected by a
				trained, accredited veterinarian. The testing requirements mandate that bulls
				shall be negative based an official confirmatory real-time Polymerase Chain
				Reaction (PCR) on a single sample. These tests shall be performed by a
				laboratory accredited by the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory
				Diagnosticians, a laboratory operated by another state government, or another
				USDA approved laboratory. All bulls tested must be identified with an official
				USDA approved ear tag. Any bull comingled with female cattle between testing
				and importation into Alabama must be retested as outlined above.
(2) All bulls entering the state must be
				accompanied by a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) containing the date
				of the negative Trichomoniasis test, the name of the lab used for testing,
				complete address of consignor and consignee, a complete description of the bull
				including official identification, and signature of the accredited veterinarian
				issuing the CVI. Chapter 80-3-6 Agriculture and Industries Supp. 12/31/15
				3-6-18
(3) The following bulls
				entering the state shall be exempt from Trichomoniasis testing:
(a) Exhibition and rodeo bulls that are
				temporarily in the state for the purpose of an event with no comingling with
				female cattle and will be leaving the state after the event.
(b) Bulls consigned directly to
				slaughter.
(c) Bulls being
				transported through Alabama in interstate commerce and not offloaded to be
				comingled with female cattle in Alabama.
(d) Virgin bulls under 18 months of age as
				determined by breed registry records or the absence of permanent central
				incisor teeth in wear. A virgin bull must be accompanied by a CVI containing a

Pursuant to the provisions of Act No. 173 of the Legislature

				  governing the operation of livestock markets in Alabama have been promulgated

NOTE:
Act No. 173 Acts of Alabama 1951, set out
				  in Rule 80-3-8-.01 above was specifically repealed by Act No. 386 Acts of
				  Alabama 1975. The 1975 Act took the place of the 1951 Act but that portion of

				  incorporated into the 1975 Act. It is not believed that any Rules in Chapter
				  80-3-8 were repealed when the 1951 Act was repealed due to the present language
				  in the 1975 Act. The 1975 Act is codified in
Code of Ala.

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
The purpose of this Chapter is to implement the requirements
				  of those statutes which regulate meat and poultry inspections set out in
Code of Ala. 1975
, §§
									2-17-1,
et
seq
. Such statutes were
				  enacted by the Legislature to provide the inhabitants of the State of Alabama
				  with wholesome, properly labeled and packaged meat and meat food products and
				  poultry and poultry food products by requiring that such food products be
				  slaughtered, inspected, handled, packaged, transported and distributed in
				  accordance with the requirements and in keeping with the purpose of the
				  aforesaid legislative enactments and for the additional purpose of cooperating
				  with the Secretary of Agriculture of the United States in developing and
				  administering an effective meat and poultry inspection program in this state by
				  establishing requirements which equal those imposed by the applicable
				  provisions of the Federal Meat Inspection Act (Wholesome Meat Act of 1967 and
				  the Mandatory Poultry Products Inspection Act of 1968). Therefore, the State
				  Board of Agriculture and Industries deems it necessary in implementing the
				  provisions of these acts to adopt certain meat and poultry inspection
				  requirements and regulations heretofore adopted by the United States Department
				  of Agriculture for the administration and enforcement of the Wholesome Meat Act
				  of 1967 and the Mandatory Poultry Products Inspection Act as heretofore enacted
				  by the Congress of the United States. The State Board of Agriculture and
				  Industries also deems it necessary in carrying out the intent and purpose of
				  the state meat and poultry statutes as same relates to and governs the
				  inspection of poultry and poultry food products, in implementing the provisions
				  thereof with respect to said products, to adopt certain poultry inspection
				  requirements and regulations heretofore adopted by the United States Department
				  of Agriculture for administration and enforcement of the Mandatory Poultry
				  Products Inspection Act of 1968 as enacted by the Congress of the United
				  States.
