Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (
CR 99-168)
Chs. ATCP 10, 11 and 12 - Animal diseases, animal movement, and livestock markets, dealers and truckers.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
This rule updates and expands current rules relating to animal disease, animal movement and livestock markets, dealers and truckers. It brings state requirements for disease control into conformity with federal requirements as delineated in the uniform methods and rules, with some exceptions. For instance, the uniform methods and rules permit use of the blood tuberculosis test (BTB) for cervids (deer, moose, elk, etc.) This rule prohibits use of the BTB because the test has consistently failed to identify animals as suspects or reactors when the animals were confirmed infected by culture positive results.
This rule will affect small businesses in Wisconsin. Small businesses which will be affected include farmers/producers; veterinarians; livestock market operators; livestock dealers; livestock truckers; and sponsors of horse shows, exhibitions or fairs.
Except for the swine import requirements, the overall impact on small businesses is negligible. In some instances requirements have been reduced. In other instances requirements have been increased. It is not anticipated that any of the changes will have a large impact on small businesses. The most significant impact, the cost of some post import pseudorabies testing of swine is insignificant if compared to the costs that will be incurred by the industry and individual producers if pseudorabies is imported and regains a foothold in Wisconsin.
