Do they do periodic testing for CWD or other diseases @ the farms?

And does anyone know if there has ever been a case of CWD on any of the farms under the guise of BOAH? [/b]
The captive cervid farms have to test every animal over the age 12 months when it dies. As stated there is currently no live test for CWD.

There has been no case of CWD discovered in Indiana although we did have an introduction of TB brought in from out-of-state back in 2009 and traced to 4 herds in Indiana that were eventually depopulated.
