2002 Minnesota Statutes

     35.251 Anaplasmosis testing. 

    Breeding cattle entering Minnesota from a country or a 
 state not exempted by the board must have a certificate of 
 veterinary inspection evidencing a negative test for 
 anaplasmosis conducted at a state or federal laboratory within 
 30 days of entry.  Cattle without a certificate must be 
 immediately quarantined and tested for anaplasmosis at the 
 expense of the cattle owner.  Cattle having a positive reaction 
 to the anaplasmosis test must remain quarantined until they test 
 free of anaplasmosis or be slaughtered.  An anaplasmosis test is 
 not required of steers, cattle shipped directly to a 
 slaughtering establishment, cattle sent to a quarantine feed 
 lot, and other cattle excepted by board rule.  The board may 
 adopt rules to implement this section.
